Seattle's beloved subterranean music iconoclast Skerik has long found the city of New Orleans a balm for his inherently subversive musical approach

Currently calling the Crescent City his second home, the saxophonist fully embraces this dichotomy between his own profane instincts and the Big Easy's rich traditions with Compersion Quartet -- a band in which he's joined by pianist Brian Hass, bassist James Singleton and drummer Simon Lott. Recorded in New Orleans, the quartet's self- titled debut album presents a series of studio improvisations that are amalgamated in fts and starts of cinematic beauty, syncopated melodism and mystic sonic experimentalism.
