about

Long Way Out is a series of impressions inspired by a journey into the uncertain, a reflection on the thoughts and experiences of a traveler as they traverse unknown places.

Paul states that, “I was aiming to create a sparse, minimal, and open sound in the music to capture the feeling of loneliness and isolation, of uncertainty, that can often accompany traveling into the unknown.”

“Dissolution” looks to capture the disorientation, the falling apart, the dissolving of what was that starts the journey. The melody is played as a loose ensemble unison followed by introspective and free solos.

“Where to Now” represents the process of finding a path forward through uncharted territory. The tune uses a sparse mixed meter groove and bass line that moves the tune forward but elides a sense of directness or certainty.

“Passing By” is a reflection on the transitory nature of travel, of momentary meetings and places. The ballad features post-bop inspired harmony used to obscure the form of the tune.

“Far Away” is solo saxophone improvisation looking back at the distance traveled from what was, what used to be.

“Long Way Out,” the title track of the album, represents a slow, yet doggedly persistent, moving towards the new, of making it through and out. The melody is played freely over a bass ostinato pattern which gives way to the modal solo section and swing groove.

Featuring Paul Zaborac on saxophone, Austin Brown on guitar, Eric Krieger on bass, and Mark Grimm on drums, the quartet developed its unique sound playing regular gigs in Des Moines, Iowa at The Lift, a small, intimate, bar where musical exploration and openness were the standard. With all members hailing from the American Midwest, the group has a unique sound and character arising out of their shared sensibilities and experiences.
