O’s Notes: Composer Jason Kao Hwang’s latest project is a rather eclectic experience based on free jazz. Sing House has a wealth of structure and phasing that is repeatable and appreciable along with the spontaneity. There are only four selections and they are all well developed, in excess of 11 minutes each. Andrew Drury (d), Ken Filiano (b), Chris Forbes (p) and Steve Swell (tb) are the accompaniment in the quintet that shares in an enjoyable, creative work.
