Christian Sands' third recording for Mack Avenue Music Group captures and establishes him as a powerful leader in composition and conceptual vision. With Be Water (available May 22 worldwide), music is like the element that has no form of its own, taking on the structure of any musical composition and performance in which it is found and is a universal necessity . For this recording, Sands reunited with double bassist Yasushi Nakamura and saxophonist Marcus Strickland, and is joined by trumpeter Sean Jones, trombonist Steve Davis, guitarist Marvin Sewell and drummer Clarence Penn
