A track from Gavin Templeton's debut album "Asterperious Special" due out in the summer of 2012!
Gavin Templeton's music overflows with lush harmony and surprising melodic line akin to compositions by Bill Evans and Wayne Shorter, all the while exploring lyrical Dolphyesque improvisation and unconventional form and meter.
"Templeton solos with startling spontaneity, jumping from
melodic sympathy to avant density in a heartbeat."
