Fine Whines – Brooke Sofferman

On this fourth recording from Boston-area drummer/composer Brooke Sofferman, the music is complex yet accessible, incorporating various styles of music under the guise of modern jazz.

Here is a promise: You will not hear a local jazz group play with more talent, more focus, more intensity than the quintet led by drummer Brooke Sofferman. -Boston Globe

The inventive drummer Brooke Sofferman continually pulls the rhythmic rug out from under his rockin’ bop compositions, sliding between meters with remarkable fluidity as his bandmates, utterly undisturbed by the shifting ground, jam merrily away… Gleeful side trips into Led Zeppelin and Star Wars underscore the sense of five guys having a good time. -JazzTimes

This stimulating set of modern music is easily recommended to listeners wanting to hear 21st century jazz. -AllMusic
