O’s Notes: Matt Slocum is a drummer and composer who teams up with pianist Gerald Clayton and bassist Massimo Bioclati to form a modern jazz trio. The program is all original tunes with a few newly arranged standards. Clayton shines throughout the set playing intricate melodies and rhythms while Slocum weaves in and out with dynamic solos as on “The Catalyst”. Bioclati shines on “Passaic” as well as being the anchor elsewhere. After the Storm is a very good blend of slow and fast music.
