Arpeggio Jazz Ensemble

Very cool Philly work from the 80s – played by a group who've got the same spiritual vibe as underground artists from the decade before!

The combo features the requisite saxes and percussion – but they also have this really wonderful use of vibes, played by Bill Lewis – who handles the instrument in rhythmic, chromatic ways that remind us a bit of the work of Paris Smith on his fantastic records from Chicago!
