On October 20th, Concord Jazz will release The Observer, saxophonist and composer Jon Irabagon’s newest recording as a leader, Concord debut and follow up to his first album as leader, Outright!, released last year by Innova.

Winning the 2008 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition has afforded Irabagon the opportunity to assemble a dream-team of musicians, including the stellar rhythm section of pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Victor Lewis, alongside veteran producer Don Sickler and legendary engineer Rudy Van Gelder.
