Chris Greene Quartet released its eleventh album Conversance on October 19, 2024 on LP, CD, digital download and streaming via respected indie rock label Pravda Records marking it as the first jazz album issued by the imprint. Greene and his band based out of Chicago is a saxophonist whose talents have contributed to recordings by Windy City luminaries such as Steve Dawson and Nora O’Connor and he has performed with the likes of Common and Andrew Bird. Greene’s post-bop style incorporates ideas from funk and hip-hop but the methods and sounds are in that jazz ensemble vein in which each member of the band contributes in synergistic ways toward dynamic and energetic arrangements that establish an immediate and flowing mood. The new album reveals not just the Quartet’s musical creativity and prowess but also its knowledge of the history and legacy of the artforms that inform its aesthetic and craft.
