Ryan Meagher is very forward thinking with his music, but has certainly gained a lot of knowledge about the history and tradition of jazz music through his many prestigious teachers. Some of these teachers include modern jazz stalwarts like Kurt Rosenwinkel, Ben Monder, Steve Cardenas, and Peter Bernstein. Or players from a different generation such as well-known jazz educator, Mark Levine, post-bop guitar legend Kenny Burrell, Latin jazz giant Poncho Sanchez, and the renowned Heath Brothers.
This album represents one of Ryan's current leading projects, a band consisting of some of New York's most sought-after up-and-comers: Loren Stillman on alto sax, Matt Renzi on reeds, Geoff Kraly on electric bass and Vinnie Sperrazza on drums, make up the musicians who work with Ryan on this "Atroefy" project. In his own words: "Modern Jazz for the Indie Rocker. Serious music with real emotion."
