Saxophonist and composer Jonathan Reisin presents Too Good X Unreality, his second album as a leader, exploring the balance between complexity and simplicity in music. Developed over two years with pianist Shinya Lin and drummer Jarred Chase, the trio’s deep exploration of texture, rhythm, and improvisation pushes their instruments’ boundaries, resulting in a dynamic and cohesive body of work full of surprises.
Following his debut album Option B (2022) and the collaborative release Earthquake (2023) with drummer Francisco Mela, Too Good X Unreality marks a new chapter in Reisin’s evolving sound.
