Vintage Astronaut is the debut, full length album from 6-string bassist and composer John Daniel Ray. John plays progressive jazz, and the album is a combination of beautiful, soaring melodies, head-bobbing, funky odd-time grooves, and modern harmony that colors the vibe in a very unique way. Reminiscent of artists like the Funky Knuckles, Brian Blade Fellowship, Kneebody, Zach Danziger, Now vs Now, and Mark Guiliana, this album brings a unique viewpoint to modern jazz.
