Music Review: FivePlay Jazz Quintet's Eponymous Album

The FivePlay Jazz Quintet is a group of veteran jazz musicians based out of the San Francisco Bay Area in California. The band is composed of Tony Corman on the guitar, his wife Laura Klein on the piano, Dave Tidball on woodwinds, Alan Hall on the drums, and Paul Smith on the bass. Prior to FivePlay, with the exception of Paul Smith, they previously played collectively as part of a sextet called 'Triceratops'. 

As the FivePlay Quintet, they define their sound as "melodic modern jazz" to be enjoyed by everyone, whether you are an experienced jazz listener or you’re hearing jazz for the first time.' This album is their self-titled debut.
