Shawn Purcell

Guitarist Shawn Purcell’s latest Origin Records release, Oblivity, is a bold exploration of modern straight-ahead jazz, blending elements of bebop, hard-bop, post-bop, ECM, Brazilian, Afro-Cuban, and fusion. Featuring an eclectic set of all-original compositions, the album draws inspiration from iconic artists including Antonio Carlos Jobim, Pat Metheny, Michael Brecker, John Scofield, John Coltrane, Horace Silver, Wayne Shorter and others. Oblivity includes the exceptional talents of saxophone great Walt Weiskopf, whose unique tone and virtuosic playing contributes a powerful presence and commanding energy to the project. A world-class band brings the music to life, with every musician infusing the ensemble with their unique and imaginative voice. Throughout this recording, Purcell displays his deep connection with traditional and modern improvisational language, while exploring the expansive tonal range of modern jazz guitar. Whether you're drawn to sophisticated harmonies, infectious grooves, exceptionally crafted solos, or artful, genre-crossing elements, Oblivity delivers a listening experience that will captivate both jazz fans and newcomers alike.
