Combining deep grooves with sophisticated contrapuntal lines, he and his Inventions Trio create a striking musical collage that is at once stirring, visceral, imaginative and intellectually curious. Fox mines the rich resources of jazz and classical literature, crafting an expanding repertoire of original compositions seamlessly wedded to the undeniable pulse of Afro-Cuban jazz. His inventive blend marches boldly toward new sounds, effortlessly "confounding the genre police." (Downbeat)
