Pretzil Stex is a new jazz quartet collaboration by Jeff Presslaff (piano), Matt Steckler (sax), Eric Platz (drums), and James Hamilton (bass), born from sessions at Brandon University. The illustrious Wayne Shorter has said Presslaff “gets the harmony just right!” while Downbeat and Jazz Times have described Steckler’s writing as “delightfully eclectic” and “inspired by greater artistic depth.” The music of Pretzil Stex melodies that stick, voice-led harmonies that bend, rhythms that crunch, and bold improvisational personalities, taken with a grain of salt.
