Greg Foat & Art Themen find a terse, conversational chemistry—piano-led post-bop that lurches into jazz-funk pocket and late-night modal reveries. Sparse drums and propulsive bass underpin Themen’s muscular saxophone lines and Foat’s clipped chordal motifs, trading solos like a tight club set. Released on Athens of the North, Off-Piste sits neatly with the label’s jazz and rare-groove catalog.
