Hush Point is proud to announce Blues and Reds (October 14th / Sunnyside), the follow up to the Brooklyn quartet s acclaimed 2013 self-titled debut, named by the New Yorker as among the most substantial jazz albums of the year and described as ...surprising music, much of it a kind of x-rayed blues (The New York Times). A lot of commitment is required for a band to develop musical ESP, and it was in this spirit that saxophonist Jeremy Udden of the rural-jazz combo Plainville ( Southern gothic maturity, folk song simplicity, and garage rock pathos - The New York Times) and trumpeter John McNeil ( one of the best improvisers working in jazz - The New York Times) began to meet regularly in 2011 to work on their concepts of composition and improvisation. Over time, they added a rhythm section, bassist Aryeh Kobrinsky and drummer Anthony Pinciotti, and Hush Point was born. The continuing aim of Hush Point is to play as a single entity, to anticipate musical changes and play something non-composed as if it were a written arrangement. John and I play together so much we've begun to play improvised lines in unison, remarks Jeremy. "It's uncanny. At first, John thought I was messing with him and he got angry and tried to kill me, but hey, that's all part of developing a group sound. Just kidding. Really."
