An all-star lineup of emerging leaders in the world of Jazz set the tone for an exciting fusion project by High Pulp. It’s difficult to pin down Seattle’s High Pulp. In just a few short years, this instrumental band has dabbled in everything from avant-garde jazz to beat-driven R&B to psychedelic synthesizer-heavy electronica. But on "Pursuit Of Ends", High Pulp keep it pleasant and jazzy with a blissful feeling that runs consistently throughout this outstanding instrumental album. From the heavenly sound of Brandee Younger's strings to the uplifting performance of Jaleel Shaw on sax, this project carries a beautiful array of tones that result in happiness.
