Collectively Speaking Jazz Quartet

Collectively Speaking Jazz Quartet


Collectively Speaking is a contemporary straight-ahead jazz quartet that plays mostly original compositions at various clubs, restaurants, and concert settings throughout Connecticut. The members are:

  • Paul Hudak, piano
  • Russ Becker, woodwinds
  • Brett Bottomley, double bass
  • Ken Aldrich, drums

    Collectively Speaking has produced a cassette recording, The Spirit is Loose , from which you can hear some brief excerpts in (unfortunately low quality) 8-bit format ( Raze Your Standards and the title cut The Spirit is Loose ).

    They have also recently produced a full-length CD , entitled Speaking Out, containing 10 original compositions, almost 68 minutes of music. Some longer excerpts from the CD in 16-bit format may be placed on-line in the near future.

    Speaking Out may be purchased for $10 + $2 shipping/handling from the address below. Mention that you saw this on the internet and we'll throw in a copy of The Spirit is Loose for free!
