Carl Schultz’s The Road to Trantor explores a spacious, modern jazz landscape shaped by his work on tenor saxophone and flute, supported by compositions that draw from both acoustic and electronic ideas. Guitarist Tim Wendel, pianist Adam Benjamin, bassist Zack Teran, and drummer Alwyn Robinson form the core ensemble, with Schultz’s writing steering the group through open, shifting structures that balance form and freedom. The blend of straight-ahead and atmospheric elements gives the project an exploratory character, yet the focus remains on ensemble cohesion and thematic development throughout the album.
