Jazz Quartet instrumentation - sax, piano, upright bass, drums - with a very accessible flow. Perfect for jazz radio play.
On his debut recording, Anderson has proven that jazz can be harmonically complex, melodically intricate, and rhythmically hip – and still be totally accessible. You will not have to work hard to “get” this music, yet you may be hard-pressed to compare it closely to anything else you’ve heard. These are fresh, new sounds – composed, arranged, and performed with clarity and directness.
What the Reviews are saying about "Clarity"

"...composer/saxophonist Dave Anderson: a master class in giving eight originals, their fragments of scales or entire lines, complete make-overs harmonically, rhythmically and melodically. If you're lucky enough to visit Seattle and hear the Anderson foursome live..."
