Fresh and vivrating music with new ideas.
The New Sound Quartet is a co-leader project featuring Joe Locke and Geoffrey Keezer. Two genuine artists evoke each other's inspiration to the extent -- and the "new sound" is created.

The classic standard tunes are carefully arranged, given the original and fresh new lives. It first might be difficult to tell "All The Things You Are" by blind fold; it is arranged by Keezer, whom had the arrangement idea for nearly ten years. The treatment perfectly matches the group name -- "the new sound".

Original compositions are written for this date. Keezer's "Tulipa" is named after the scientific name for the flower "tulip". According to Keezer, the song is dedicated to vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, who loves to cultivate tulips. Locke's original composition "The King (For T.M.)" is dedicated to his longtime friend.
