Pete Robbins Pyramid Quintet

Altoist Pete Robbins crafts lush contemporary jazz that cruises along smoothly, despite its complex architecture. Here, he celebrates Pyramid, a covers-heavy new set—featuring pieces by Nirvana, Guns N' Roses and Stevie Wonder—with help from trumpeter Jonathan Finlayson, pianist Carlos Homs, bassist Eivind Opsvik and drummer Nate Wood.
