A clarinet cat that was a serious music student concerned about his chops and admitting to being inspired by Shakti can't help but to eventually step up to the mic and turn out something unique and compelling. With a complete understanding of McLaughlin's east/west fusion, Tucker kicks it into high gear right out of the box using everything at his disposal adding rocket fuel to the genre and taking world jazz to some new and delightful places. A far cry from girl friend music and not derivative of things past, any serious, high minded listener that has room on his plate for a serious groove as well is going to flip for this set. Already a You Tube star with over 30 million hits, it's time to find out what the underground already knows as you are welcomed to the new paradigm. Hot stuff.
