The Hibbard Wright Project
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15TH. Atlanta-based Grammy Award- winning
saxophonist Mace Hibbard has been leading and recording with a formidable
quintet for the past ten years while over that same period, Roswell, GA-based
guitarist Trey Wright has led the 4-piece Athens/Atlanta-based Squat jazz band
and is now leader of his own trio. What they both have in common is a creative
rhythm section of bassist Marc Miller and drummer Marlon Patton. On
the self-titled The Hibbard/Wright Project, both men leave their
respective groups behind and join forces with the rhythm section they share,
forming an all new quartet for this outing. In crafting this debut venture, the
co-leaders contribute fresh new original compositions producing music that does
not quite qualify as your standard straight ahead material but rather, music
that can be best described as well-played tastefully improvised modern jazz.
