The twenty-eight year old, inventive, Minnesota-born-Brooklyn-based bassist and bandleader Chris Morrissey, a musician with superb alt-folk cred thanks to his work with Ben Kweller, Mason Jennings, and Andrew Bird is one of the best genre shifters on the scene. His debut Sunnyside recording, "The Morning World", is an intimate and engaging nine-track recording that bridges homespun Midwestern folk-themes with big city modern jazz. Joined by David King, drums (The Bad Plus, Happy Apple, Halloween Alaska), Mike Lewis, saxophones (Happy Apple, Andrew Bird, Fat Kid Wednesdays).
