The Shook/Russo Quartet has been working together for
nearly two years in the Baltimore/Washington, D.C.
area. Their focus has always been to compose and
perform their own original music within the jazz
idiom, honoring the masters by carrying on the
tradition. The group has developed an incredible and
unique sound by merging the diverse backgrounds of
each of these fine
musicians into one voice. The result is a whirlwind
of grooves, melodies, and diverse textures that are
a true delight to hear.

Joining the quartet on their debut album is trumpeter
Greg Gisbert. Greg is one of the leading young
trumpeters in the international jazz scene, performing
frequently with many of today's popular jazz
artists. From 1984 throughout the 90s, Greg played
with Buddy Rich, Woody Herman, Gary Burton,
John-Fedchock, Toshiko Akiyoshi, the Mingus Epitaph,
Frank Wess, Mickey Tucker, the Buck Clayton
Big Band,...
