Biography

Time in the Wilderness mesmerizes and delights with thoughtful, original & hooky instrumental grooves that take us for a ride into the musical unknown. The quintet incorporates soundscapes and improvisational sections to develop themes of hope and exploration, weaving together genres on a loom of rhythm.

This musical conversation starts with a pair of drummers (Brad Samuels and Paul Aquilino) who craft a unified pocket of polyrhythms, starting a topic with bass player (Mike Landis) on both 4-string and 6-string tic-tac bass, juicing the hook. Themes are cultivated, nurtured and destroyed on meandering planes established by guitar, synth and other sonic devices (Andre Radloff). Soaring and catchy, masterful trumpet (Ralph Burrows) transports us to other spheres.
