Spearheaded by Reno-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Tristan Selzler alongside the Reno Jazz Syndicate, RJS: Tales from the Loving Cup is an inventive contemporary jazz record that showcases the vibrant caliber of the Northern Nevada creative music scene. Spanning twelve meticulously crafted compositions, including standout tracks like "Eurydice" and "Landing at Duke's," Selzler’s writing bridges traditional jazz architecture with a restless, exploratory modern spirit through intricate harmonies, dynamic group interplay, and subtle texturing. Mixed and mastered at I Mirage Studios in Sparks, Nevada, the album offers an open, breathing sonic soundstage that highlights virtuoso performances, earning praise from jazz critic Scott Yanow for its rare blend of instrumental beauty and undeniable originality.
