The release of pianist Hank Hehmsoth’s acclaimed debut H-Project in 2009 signaled the arrival of a singular new voice in Texas jazz, and his 2009 single The Way Up delivered on that promise by solidifying Hehmsoth’s status as a rising star who was taking the music someplace new. Featuring his acoustic quartet Double Vision (Showcase SXSW March 14) with flute/sax - John Mills, bass - Utah Hamrick, and drums - Aaron Easley, his new album "Blu-Escape" showcases the group’s intuitive interplay and expanded the musical possibilities of where a modern jazz quartet might go by delving even further into his roots in art music. Blu-Escape reinforces Hehmsoth’s reputation as a distinctive composer whose unique harmonic imprint and affecting melodies are apparent on the album’s nine original tunes including the edgy opener “Blu-Escape,” the mesmerizing “Chernobyl Cha Cha,” the Santa Fe influenced “Turquoise Rendezvous,” and “Sophie’s Danse,” a dedication to his cat Sophie.
