Jeff Holmes Quartet "Of One's Own" is the debut small group recording by pianist and composer/arranger Jeff Holmes featuring Adam Kolker on tenor sax, soprano sax and bass clarinet, James Cammack on acoustic and electric bass, and Steve Johns on drums. With five Holmes originals, including the title track, new takes on standards like Poinciana and So Long, Farewell from "The Sound of Music", plus songs by John Abercrombie and Toby Holmes. The quartet explores a variety of jazz styles balancing improvisational interplay and arranged ensemble."This is a delightful record... funny, quirky, personal jazz... laid back music made by musicians who are unhurried and have no agenda and nothing to prove but how much they love playing together these great compositions... Jeff's piano is informed by many styles and genres (as is his writing), hints of Gospel, Evans, Monk, Shorter, Latin, and Herbie have all found a happy home in Jeff's brain, as have we the happy listeners. " - Arturo O'Farrill Grammy-winning pianist/composer/arranger
