Alexa Tarantino’s fifth studio album, The Roar and the Whisper, is a spellbinding new chapter in the jazz musician’s evolution. The saxophonist, flutist, composer, and educator has long been lauded for her poise and precision—“a one-woman wrecking crew,” as Wynton Marsalis calls her. Now, the full breadth of her artistry is on display: from spirited, up-tempo improvisations to intimate, ethereal ballads. Jazz PHX will also preview "New Grooves" from trumpeter Anthony Stancos Live At The Alluvion, Sacha Boutros Paris After Dark and A Breath Of Fresh Air from pianist Sean Mason.
