Keefe Jackson's Likely So
The music of Keefe Jackson's all-reed group Likely So is both a new direction and a continuation of his abiding mission: combining composition and improvisation with an emphasis on the interaction of the individual musicians. On the album A Round Goal, this leads to an exploration of sound-areas including the textural, the melodic, and the instinctual.
