Organic Warfare | Phronesis
Organic Warfare is a diverse and vibrant modern/progressive jazz album. The album is a journey itself, but never diverges too far into unfamiliar territory.

This is an amazing debut for Phronesis and I can’t wait to see how they’ll continue to push the envelope in progressive jazz.
