Snap Happy [CD]

Greg Murphy's Snap Happy Brings Jazz Classics and Fresh Grooves

Straight-ahead, fusion, and free jazz--Greg Murphy's latest album Snap Happy is a lively and uplifting ride you won't want to miss!

Pianist Greg Murphy returns with Snap Happy, his fifth release on Whaling City Sound, bringing infectious rhythms, soulful melodies, and a dynamic mix of straight-ahead, fusion and free jazz. Backed by his powerhouse trio (bassist Obasi Akoto, and drummer Steve Johns) and joined by special guests --guitarist Mark Whitfield and vocalist Sy Smith, -- Murphy delivers an album bursting with energy, depth, and fearless improvisation.

From the playful bounce of the title track to the deep grooves of "Equality" and a re-imagined "On Green Dolphin Street," Murphy blends tradition with modern energy, making Snap Happy both familiar and exciting.

With its mix of classic and original compositions, Snap Happy is a must-listen for jazz fans and newcomers alike.
