When Now

Hailing from diverse musical backgrounds and possessing a shared passion for the inner workings of sound, Jeff Coffin, Mark Raudabaugh, Ethan Jodziewicz, and Bob Lanzetti converge to form a vanguard of aural expression. This eclectic quartet is a confluence of artistic spirits eager to explore the boundless landscape of contemporary improvisational music.

At the forefront, Jeff Coffin's saxophone prowess is not just about his ability to produce enthralling solos or his fluency across multiple genres; it's about his penchant for storytelling through his instrument, often invoking emotions that transcend the very notes he plays.

Mark Raudabaugh, whose resume boasts of collaborations with multi-genre heavyweight artists, applies his vast experience to fuel the engine room of the band with his declarative and sophisticated drumming.

Grounding their soundscapes is bassist Ethan Jodziewicz, the bass virtuoso, who carries the legacy of the giants before him while charting a course uniquely his own. With the double bass cradled in his articulate finesse, he draws lines that are at once robust and delicate, guiding the band through harmonic landscapes with ingenuity.

The final layer is Bob Lanzetti, imbuing the music with his broad harmonic vision and agile interplay on the guitar. His lines and solos are not just magnificent, they're intentional conversations that resonate deeply with the listener.

Together, this band stands on the precipice of the known and unknown, their instruments compelled as tools for both exploration and expression. To listen to their recording is to dive into a realm where each note is a color and every song is a vivid painting—a spectacle of true musical mastery.
