Amos Gillespie's Unstructured Time for Jazz Septet (January 21, 2022)

“Unstructured Time” for jazz septet is an original work about finding introspective peace in a loud world. I started writing it in 2019 and after quite a few delays, including pandemic delays, finished it in 2020 and premiered it April 29th, 2021 at the Fulton Street Collective in Chicago. The album features Alexandra Olsavsky, voice; Amos Gillespie, alto sax; Andy Schlinder, tenor sax; Gustavo Cortinas, drums; Paul Bedal, piano; Casey Nielsen, guitar and Dan Thatcher, bass.
