Sweet Shadow

Saxophonist/composer Pete Mills' latest release, Sweet Shadow features some of the brightest voices in jazz today, guitarist Pete McCann, drummer Matt Wilson, bassist Martin Wind and pianist, Erik Augis. It has received worldwide critical acclaim  -“A stellar recording”-JazzTimes, “Man, what a gas!”-DownBeat and 4 ½ stars from Allaboutjazz.com. 

Sweet Shadow is an exciting romp through a modern jazz landscape full of twists and turns and includes nine original compositions and two free form Duos (with Matt Wilson). Mills also continues his exploration of the Ellington/Strayhorn songbook with a unique version of The Star Crossed Lovers and pays tribute to saxophonist Rahassan Roland Kirk in a trio version of his most famous tune, Serenade to a Cuckoo. Sweet Shadow captures Mills and the band at their best and is easily his finest release to date.
