This magnificent live recording marks saxophonist's Charles Lloyd’s first Blue Note release in 30 years. The six-movement "Wild Man Dance" was recorded in its premiere performance at the Jazztopad Festival in Wroclaw, Poland in 2013 and features pianist Gerald Clayton, bassist Joe Sanders and drummer Gerald Cleaver, as well as Greek lyra virtuoso Sokratis Sinopoulos and Hungarian cimbalom maestro Miklós Lukács, who colour, texture and rhythmically charge the music.

Ben Wendel enjoys a varied career as a performer, composer and producer and is widely respected as the co-leader of the long standing, GRAMMY nominated band, Kneebody. In his third solo album, acclaimed up-and-coming saxophonist Ben Wendel explores the influences that have shaped him as a musician, dedicating each of the 8 tracks on "What We Bring" to an artist that has had an impact on him. Wendel dedicates all of the pieces on this album to masters from the past, peers from the present and musicians of the future.
