With a wide-ranging virtuosic fluidity, D.C.-based guitarist Shawn Purcell draws on an abundance of musical influences and a refined ensemble cohesion in crafting the journey that Oblivity leads. Inviting the acclaimed saxophonist Walt Weiskopf to share the front line, they energize this dynamic quintet set of all original compositions, along with Purcell's longtime bandmates Chris Ziemba on piano, bassist Jeff Reed, and drummer Steve Fidyk. Darden Purcell also orchestrates several melodies with her wordless vocals and trombonist Ben Patterson guests on two compositions. From searing, fusion-adjacent moments, to fiery post-bop, and spacious, sensitive ballads, Oblivity displays an artful and compelling sonic experience.

"Every once in a while, an album will come your way that both delights and impresses the ear. Like shooting stars, these are not completely rare occurrences but it's the fortunate person who gets to enjoy the experience... This album makes a statement and says a lot." (Peter Erskine)

"Oblivity presents an ensemble playing Purcell’s ten compositions with a responsiveness that comes from deep listening. That listening allows small rhythmic adjustments, dynamic shading, and phrasing that anticipates and reacts. Purcell is a guitarist of fluidity and grace. As a composer, his elegance lies in structure, pacing, and detail. Supported by an ensemble whose chemistry is palpable in every track, this is an album that speaks to the art of modern jazz at its most integrated and deeply musical." (Jeff Becker, jazzsensibilities.com)
