Chad McCullough Trio - The Charm of Impossibilities: Music inspired by Olivier Messiaen's Technique of My Musical Language. Harmonic and melodic reinventions imagined in modern jazz.

“McCullough is a rare instrumentalist who makes each note sound as if it were imbued with a deeper meaning. Certainly a player with great chops, his approach is one that is measured and deliberate, often introspective, sometimes gorgeously melancholic, and one that employs a continuity of mood and atmosphere …” -AllAboutJazz
