HAMMER Presents JazzPOP: Wayne Horvitz' Sweeter Than the Day August 13, 2009

JazzPOP: Wayne Horvitz' Sweeter than the Day

"On piano, Horvitz is economical yet lyrical, never venturing far from the strong melodic hooks which characterize his compositions, but constantly working small surprises." –-The Wire, UK

“This is music that's lovely without being goopy, indirect without being too cool.”
– Mark Fefer, Seattle Weekly

Pianist, composer and bandleader Wayne Horvitz has created a staggeringly diverse body of music in his twenty years a linchpin of Seattle’s music scene. Sweeter Than the Day is his acoustic piano-guitar-bass-drums quartet – bebop playfulness tinged with a bare pop sensibility and a dreamy country-blues twang. The music is infused with Horvitz’ signature blend of evocative melodies, offbeat harmonies, brilliant soloing, and dazzling group interplay steeped in the confidence of a band that’s been working together for a decade.
