Chet Doxas is quickly becoming one of the most well respected and sought-after saxophonist-composers of his generation.

His latest release You Can’t Take It With You sees him team up with two star collaborators – Thomas Morgan and Ethan Iverson – on a release that represents a key shift in Doxas’ compositional and editing process. Inspired by the trios of Jimmy Giuffre and close collaborators Carla Bley and Steve Swallow, Doxas was encouraged to set up his own trio by Bley. The disc represents a year in Doxas’ life, spread over twelve tracks.

Doxas hails from Montreal, and is now based in New York. Outside of the trio, he’s co-led Riverside with trumpeter Dave Douglas since 2014, and also leads the visual arts-inspired ensemble Rich in Symbols.
