A young and vital member of the Seattle jazz scene, drummer Xavier Lecouturier discovered a circle of like-minded and talented colleages afterarriving in town from the Bay-Area. Carrier documents a collection of the original works they've been performing around the region over the last twoyears, as they looked for, and found, their voice.

Featuring through-composed pieces drawing from numerous influences, this album encapsulates the sound, interplay, and collective compositional styles as they nudge boundaries, while staying rooted in a passionate study of the jazz tradition.
