Run Stop Run is the latest project from Juno-nominated trombonist William Carn. Produced by influential saxophonist/composer David Binney, this debut recording showcases Run Stop Run's contemporary sound. Lush and warm, this recording incorporates infectious grooves with lyrical melodies. Run Stop Run (RSR) is a collective in every sense of the word. Lead by Carn, this quartet features four of Canada's top jazz artists performing their own brand of eclectic, original, modern jazz music. The recording offers original compositions from various members of the band including three from David Binney, four from William Carn, and remainder from band mates Jon Maharaj and Don Scott. The tracks, twelve in total, create a variety of sound & texture that simply allow for this ensemble to stand alone in its sound. William Carn who has performed with numerous top jazz artists over the past several years, has joined forces with the great David Binney for this project, which is also released on Binney's self owned Mythology record label. William Carn's Run Stop Run is made up of William Carn on trombone &vocal, Don Scott on guitar, Jon Maharaj on bass, Ethan Ardelli on drums and special guest David Binney on keyboards/programming & vocal.
