The album contemporary jazz great Scott Wilkie has been excited about making for years, StudioLIVE is fresh, freewheeling fun, infused with the kind of energy and spontaneity that can only happen when a seamless powerhouse ensemble is given free reign to play without strict creative or commercial parameters. The palpable chemistry between the pianist/keyboardist and his longtime band leads to colorful and dynamic re-imaginings of songs from Wilkie’s catalog we thought we knew but had never reached their full creative potential.
