Down Beat :Trumpeter Sean Jones Aims for ‘Raw’ Sound with Live Album

On May 26, Mack Avenue will release trumpeter Sean Jones’ new album, Live From Jazz At The Bistro, his eighth for the label. “I’ve been wanting to do a live album for a while,” Jones, 38, said. “I wanted to capture the band’s energy live and record what it’s like to go to one of my gigs. Granted, recording in a studio creates a polished sound where the music is all tied up. But this album, it’s real raw.”
