brennan expands upon compositional “what ifs” and the plasticities of rhythm section dynamics, working a base material of melodically encoded polyrhythmic cells and developing it in multiple directions. On the shoulders of giants like Ellington, Monk, Mingus, Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, Henry Threadgill and others, he constructs specific sonic and conceptual environments for collective improvisation, a kind of sonic lego from pieces that can be combined in infinite ways.
