The Hard Way LP (Corbett VS Dempsey)

Sexmob, the innovative quartet, known for challenging jazz norms for over 25 years, collaborates with producer Scotty Hard on 'The Hard Way.' The album, released in 2023, takes a decidedly electronic turn with Hard's beats and soundscapes. Steven Bernstein (slide trumpet), Briggan Krauss (saxophone), Tony Scherr (bass), and Kenny Wollesen (acoustic/electric drums) embrace this change, while Vijay Iyer and John Medeski make guest appearances, adding unique elements to the tracks. The album combines modern electro-acoustic grooves with deep jazz roots, resulting in a funky, bluesy, and dissonant sound.
