Short is not necessarily simple. The drummer-composer John Hollenbeck acrobatically explores the dichotomy between the short and the complexity on the Super Small, the eighth release by the critically-acclaimed, proudly eccentric Claudia Quintet. The oxymoron of the title of the new album, captures the essence of its ten new compositions, which pack all of the humor and the virtuosity that listeners have come to expect from the Claudia Quintet, in a short period of time.

Hollenbeck is unclassifiable music, which builds bridges between the worlds of modern jazz and new music in surprising and inventive ways - is directed by Claudia long-standing line-up. In the course of 19 years and 8 albums, the group has forged an amazing chemistry and become expert at juggling mind-boggling dexterity with inviting the emotions and spirit.

The concept of shorter works, was both a personal challenge to Hollenbeck as a composer are always dealing with a wealth of ideas, but also a reaction to a trend in modern music towards the epic. "I'm feeling that things in the opposite direction," the composer explains. "When the songs are longer, there tend to be moments where not a lot happens. If you have a very short melody, it must be interesting."
