"Devotion" is the Whirlwind debut from pianist and composer Marko Churnchetz (Crncec), a Slovenian who currently spends time living between his home country and New York City. Still in his twenties, he's building a strong reputation as a formidable multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger and producer who works across genres.

"Devotion" is a prime example of how many contemporary musicians are no longer concerned with genre boundaries. Featuring a stew of influences, the album is a no-holds-barred program of original music from Churnchetz, performed by three New York based musicians: Mark Shim (saxophones), Chris Tordini (basses) and Justin Brown (drums). The music is comprised of intricate rhythms, virtuosic passages, introspective ballads and free improvisations.
