Matt Bauder's Day in Pictures

Tenor saxist Matt Bauder's big, beautiful sound harks back to the prebop days, but he tends to work in avant-garde contexts when he's not touring with Iron & Wine and Arcade Fire. Here, Bauder's Day in Pictures band—featuring trumpeter Nate Wooley, pianist Kris Davis, bassist Jason Ajemian and drummer Tomas Fujiwara—supports 2014's Nightshades, a skillfully arranged, subtly adventurous postbop effort.
