"There's always a tether that runs between the instrumentalists, whether it's through having played together for a long time, coming up in the same way, or studying the same kind of music: a shared language, a shared understanding." Saxophonist and composer Alden Hellmuth discusses growing up in Hartford's Jackie McLean tradition, her mentorship under Herbie Hancock, and the double-bass lineup behind her new album, 'Tether.'
