The music of Clarity of the Peculiar is the exploration and the cacophony of extended sounds, the noted reference to song form and familiar compositional structure of LA Jenkins and his collective project Stop By Fear. With the collaboration of Martin Rippel, Trumpet, Flugelhorn, handheld percussion, Anthony Jacobs, Flute, Trombone, Alien wind instrument, handheld percussion, LA Jenkins on guitar, this assembly of progressive modern jazz performers embarks on an adventurous musical journey of electro-acoustic improvisations. The collective ensemble employment of ambient, experimental and avant-garde constructs yields an effort that results in the collective’s effort to showcase their love of jazz and free music.

"...moments of symphonic ecstasy interspersed with interludes of ambient bliss." - Bird is the Worm

"This guitarist is one of a few. His approach is detailed like a fine wine. Textural, jazz, cutting/contemporary/edge/atmospheric/percussive & much more." - T.S. Smith "Breeze"

"Electro-acoustic progressive modern jazz that pulls back to something sort of kind of familiar just often enough. Very dreamy and moody, engaging." - Cousin Mary, KFJC 89.7FM
