Foward EnergyJim Ryan (Saxophone), Alicia Mangan (Tenor Saxophone), Scott R. Looney (Piano), Adam Lane (Contrabass), Marshall Trammell (Drums)Jim Ryan is a creative and catalytic force in the San Francisco Bay Area. His music has a passion and, yes, a forward energy which would put artists a third his age to shame. Here he brings his energized group together to stretch out for 5 tracks on what is arguably his finest and fullest recorded display of his music. This is intense music and unrelenting interplay. It’s a lot of listening here—over 70 minutes that will take you hours to absorb and with wonderful features from all.
