Dave Stapleton Quintet

Drawing upon a formidable grasp of Jazz, Classical and World styles, the music of Dave Stapleton's quintet is as approachable and sophisticated as Jarrett, EST or Brad Mehldau but with an energy of the Messengers or Cannonball Adderley. Who says great Jazz can’t be accessible?
