Above the Clouds LP

Resavoir is led by trumpeter and composer Will Miller, who also plays with Whitney, and the band's warm, groove-oriented jazz first surfaced on its self-titled debut for International Anthem. Above the Clouds keeps that same open-door approach, with a shifting cast of Chicago musicians moving through the lineup the way they tend to on records that grow out of that city's jazz-collective scene. The through-line is the same unhurried, melodic sensibility that made the early records stand out, not any single player's spotlight.
