'Unclassified Affections' is an entrancing release from drummer and composer Dan Weiss that features the convergence of some of the most intriguing musicians on the scene: Peter Evanson trumpet, Patricia Brennanon vibraphone, and Miles Okazakion guitar

The new compositions, which were written by Weiss specifically for these musicians, range from deep, meditative moments to intense, high-energy peaks, while every track unveils a new layer of exploration. Brennan's sonorous mallet work contrasts with Evans' sharp, inventive trumpet lines, while Okazaki's guitar weaves intricate webs of harmony and dissonance, all underpinned by Weiss' hypnotic rhythms. The Layers of rhythmic and contrapuntal interaction flow effortlessly, framed by a ghostly silence, with plenty of room given to improvisation. Together, they weave a profound, mysterious spell that is shrouded with concealed meaning. It's another transcendent project from a truly unclassifiable artist.
