Jacob Wendt composes, arranges, and leads his own music while resisting the urge to make every track about the drummer. His new album, The Gallery, was recorded by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Records (aka. Hackensack West) and becomes the fourth release from Cohearent Records when it arrives in late summer.
In this episode of the eCoustics Podcast, Eric Pye (@audioloveyyc) and Mitch Anderson (@black_circle_radio) speak with Wendt and Gray about The Gallery, Wendt’s earlier album Silver Street, ensemble chemistry, getting the horns right, analog recording, and promoting independent jazz.
