Tenor-saxophonist Ben Wendel composed 12 pieces in 2015 that he dedicated to the 12 months of the year, performing them on videos with different musicians as duets and recording the pieces in 2018 with a quintet.
This performance from 2015 has Wendel utilizing his original concept, playing “December” as a moody and relaxed duet with the innovative trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire.
Alternating written and improvised ensembles with the two horns sharing the lead, Wendel and Akinmusire create an intriguing performance that explores several moods.
