With a sense of history and evolution of the saxophone, Jeff Morrison has amassed inspiration from masters such as John Coltrane, Joe Henderson, Sonny Rollins and Dexter Gordon; as well as the those modern greats Joe Lovano, George Garzone and Jerry Bergonzi. The musicians on this recording session are friends Jeff has performed with while growing up in Phoenix, Arizona and during a brief stint in the Chicago scene. Sharing his passions for music and life, they form a sensitive yet powerful musical statement on modern life and jazz music.

Rights of Seclusion, 'a sense of isolation, of introspection, of inner passion for music and the desires to move forward, both musically and in life. A clear sense of moving on, leaving certain things behind with a need to get out, while reflecting in a sentimental way on those I have loved and places I have been.' After a mere 30 years on this planet, Jeff Morrison has just barely tapped into his abounding depths. Song stylings on this, his first release, touch the very inner self that he yearns to express. Take a deep breath and relish the moment by escaping into his world.-John Kennar, LA based comedian.

A song that captures an imagination and inspires inner reflection is the type of composition that makes listening to and understanding music important. This collection of songs inspires such reflection, and offers haunting, introspective messages challenging one's understanding of human emotion. Jeff Morrison and his band effectively blend classic, yet modernly applicable jazz feelings that cut to the heart of every man's pain and frustration, but do not ignore the counterpoint of perseverance and hope. The clarity of his seclusion is amplified by tight rhythms, melodies and production that creates a simple yet exciting live sound. This music opens up and exposes Jeff's sensitivities to further build up one's anticipation of experiencing his genuine burning inner-life passions. This collection of songs advances jazz to an optimum level of musicianship and raw feeling for a new generation of thinkers. -Brian Simpson, Jan.2000
