Slow Breath, Silent Mind captures the recent journeys of Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey as \r\nthey traversed the United States on their Fall 2003 tour. Produced and compiled by \r\nbass player Reed Mathis, this collection of jazz standards captures the unique brilliance \r\nof this trio. The opening track In A Sentimental Mood exemplifies the progressive \r\ncreativity of JFJO on a standard classic by Duke Ellington. Reed’s Octave Induced \r\nAcoustic Bass carries your soul through the tune but does not over shadow the \r\ngreatness of Brian Haas and Jason Smart. Each member contributes an original \r\ncomposition and one collective composition but the album is mainly comprised of \r\ntastefully selected cover songs.
