Tom Gershwin Quintet w/ Liminal Trio

Tom Gershwin Quintet presents Wellspring:

Wellspring celebrates the currents of energy that flow around us and within us. Drawing inspiration from these sources, Wellspring offers a reservoir of opportunities for deep listening and presence. Trumpeter and composer Tom Gershwin presents expressive compositions that are rooted in jazz, and invites listeners into a space of potential and connection.

This music is brought to life by performers who possess technical mastery of their instrument and delight in improvisational settings. They have the ability to empathetically navigate between the worlds of musical precision and open improvisation.
