12.27.09 A Satisfied Mind

By Chris D.

Treat your ears and soul to Satisfied Mind — one of eight new tracks newly released from Justin Vernon, frontman of Bon Iver. Recorded in April 2009 with Justin's old high school jazz band in Eau Claire, WI, these newly released tracks give insight to Vernon's early influences and penchant for complex harmony, percussion and brass:

"You won't believe you are listening to high school jazz students, but these kids came in 3rd in North America last year at Essentially Ellington in NYC at Lincoln Center. Don't miss Lump Sum, where you'll hear a flute solo that will blow you away. Justin did an amazing job helping these kids fund their trip to NYC, so buy this album and help support a stellar band/jazz program in Eau Claire, WI. You won't regret your purchase. And Justin on 'This Lady is a Tramp' is not to be missed. Great, great work."
