Jensen, who is heard exclusively on soprano sax on “One More Mile,” is based in Twin Fall, Idaho, where he heads the College of Southern Idaho’s jazz program. His 2002 recording, “The Sound of a Dry Martini: Remembering Paul Desmond,” charted at the #1 position on jazz radio stations across the country, and his other CDs have also enjoyed widespread airplay and critical praise. Anschell, Johnson and Bishop are first-call Seattle musicians who perform and record together frequently, both as the Wellstone Conspiracy trio and as a unit backing other jazz artists. All three have extensive recording discographies, and have toured both nationally and internationally. While they have performed with Jensen throughout the northwest, and recorded with Jensen backing Boise vocalist Jeff Baker, this is the quartet’s first release. “One More Mile” features a mix of standards and originals by Anschell and Johnson; the Seattle performance will add originals by Jensen, as well as lesser-known compositions by Lee Konitz and other jazz innovators.
