Thoughtcast - Nimbus in Motion (Jazz) best of 2022 list

Leader and bassist Graydon Peterson along with his inspired band deliver adventurous, layered and powerful songs. Peterson uses touches of electronics and pedal effects to provide nuanced and contemporary sounds. At the heart of Nimbus in Motion, are forward leaning compositions such as ,”Feeling Unprepared” and “For the Drum” . However, it's the band that carries out Peterson’s grand vision. Drummer Ben Ehrlich swings with wild abandon on “For The Drum”; Peterson’s approach to “The Bellhop” is memorizing, and trumpeter Jake Baldwin and keyboardist Joe Strachon add vivid touches of musical color throughout. This is a great listen from start to finish.
