It will soon be available through many online sites. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////// "Simplicity is a modest title for an album that has exciting complexities around every corner. Wild melodies, blazing solos, and unique interplay often mask any simplicity that is to be found in the music. But still, there is a certain welcomed basic-ness at the heart of saxophonist Jason Arce's debut release. Penned solely by Arce, the compositions are borne of a talented band full of life and energy."-RVAJazz.com //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////////////// His current projects besides leading the Jason Arce Trio/Quartet/Quintet are===The Big Payback, GlowsInTheDark, SavageJazz, NOBS Brass Band, and The Steve Carter Connextion. www.myspace.com/jasonarce/////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////////I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
