For bassist and composer Ben Jencks rhythm is king. An idea exploited to its utmost potential on his debut record “thinking of you.” The record features a “double drum” quintet with drummers Scott Amendola and Josh Jones both playing simultaneously, giving the music depth and complexity while leaving a more open harmonic structure for improvisation. This coupled with new approaches to song form allows the compositions to evolve in unexpected ways.
