On this episode of the Sounds Visual Radio spinoff series How Deep Is Your Crate, bassist/composer Marty Jaffe phoned in talk about his project Tone Forest, and to share some of his favorite records from artists including Christian McBride, Cannonball Adderly & Nancy Wilson, and Hermeto Pascoal.
Tone Forest is a contemporary jazz ensemble co-founded in 2018 by Miro Sprague (piano) Jason Ennis (guitar), and Marty Jaffe (bass). Drawing from jazz, world music and free improvisation, the trio cultivates a fresh sound that is adventurous, lyrical, and grounded in a deep sense of beauty and groove. Their collaboration stems back decades from their common roots in western Massachusetts, where they developed deep chemistry and a rich musical bond. Their debut album of original music, Tone Forest, will be released on Outside in Music on August 30, 2024.
