Gerrit Hatcher Group

*Hand-numbered edition of 300. Digipak in resealable poly-bag* The Gerrit Hatcher Group—featuring Gerrit Hatcher (tenor sax), Katie Ernst (bass), Ben Lamar Gay (cornet), Keefe Jackson (tenor sax), and Julian Kirshner (drums)—delivers an electrifying blend of free improvisation and avant-garde jazz. Their latest release, The Good Instinct of the Morning, showcases their bold, spontaneous creativity and masterful technique. Hatcher and Jackson drive the melody with expressive, ever-shifting saxophone lines, while Gay’s cornet injects energy with fiery solos and sonoristic experiments. Ernst’s bass provides a dynamic foundation, balancing subtle minimalism with daring contrasts. Kirshner’s drumming is explosive and unpredictable, adding texture and vitality.

Fusing avant-garde jazz with bebop and hard bop influences, the album is a whirlwind of innovation, contrasts, and emotional intensity—crafted through pure improvisation and fearless experimentation.
