Catch vibraphonist Joel Ross and band on the tail of his fourth release for Blue Note Records, which puts an accessible new spin on traditional jazz and the blues.
Born in Chicago and based in Brooklyn, Ross has paid tribute to the greats of the past through projects inspired by Ornette Coleman and Keith Jarrett while supporting the work of innovative contemporary artists, including Marquis Hill and past Wex guests Meshell Ndegeocello and Makaya McCraven.
