Bass clarinetist Jason Stein's quartet explores a combination of Stein's original compositions as well as uncommonly heard compositions by such luminaries as Lennie Tristano, Thelonious Monk, and Charlie Parker. Stein's work on the bass clarinet is expanding the instrument's comfort zone and capabilities and his quartet uniquely showcases his ability to seamlessly work within both more traditional jazz idioms as well as free improvisation.
