This tenor saxophonist creates his unique sound by bridging the worlds of early-jazz lyricism and latter-day experimental power. A founding member of the World Saxophone Quartet, Murray has honed a bluesy skill that's as well suited to interpreting Marvin Gaye as it is necessary for presentations of Ellington classics and original compositions; his phrasing is also persuasive on the bass clarinet. Get to know all sides of this compelling modern player with a mix that draws from his dates as a leader as well as alongside his World Saxophone partners.
