From The "All About Jazz" Review:
"Steve's a true polymath, respected as a performer, educator, science fiction author, cartoonist, and composer-arranger. who clearly knows how to let rip and have a good time. That much is made clear on this powerful date.”"
All About Jazz
If you like the music of Mike Stern, Michael and Randy Brecker, Herbie Hancock, and Trombone Shorty, that grooves from beginning to end and is a as fun to listen to as it must have been to record, then this is an album for you!
With a stunningly fresh front line of trombone, guitar and electronic wind instrument backed up by a world-class fusion trio, “The High Road” delivers an eclectic mix of stone-cold funky goodness that you will want to listen to again and again. Trombone on the high road indeed!

All About Jazz
Steve Wiest describes the idea behind the all-star horn band Vinyl Hampdin as “What would Chicago, Blood Sweat and Tears, and Tower of Power sound like if they started out today, with the contemporary sensibilities of the 21st Century?”
With everything from an astounding take on Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition” to Sir Paul McCartney’s “My Love” to funky rocked out originals that cover the full range of human emotion, RED delivers big time and answers Wiest’s question with a resounding “It sounds GREAT!” Sizzling horns, a stunning lead vocalist, and a rhythm section that grooves all day long.

The second offering “BLUE” by the all-star horn band Vinyl Hampdin keeps the party going with eleven more songs that are modern day “sound tracks of your life.” Everything from pop to pure rocked out jazz-tinged fun is in play on this project.
Morphing classic tunes such as the Kinks’ “All Day and All of the Night,” and the standard “I Only Have Eyes for You,” in the most delightful and fresh ways, Vinyl Hampdin proves once again that deep and clever writing can result in dance-level fun listening adventures.
Blues, ballads, rock, country gospel, and jazz!
"Vinyl Hampdin’s BLUE is an album that has something for all music fans. "

A recording that is based on a sci-fi novel that is itself inspired by the music of the recording? That is exactly what you get with this virtuoso jazz-fusion project that is cinematic in its scope. Wiest describes it as “A soundtrack for a movie that is not a movie.”
With characters that recur over time across a huge chronology, the programmatic music is anchored by a stunning jazz rock quartet which is augmented by flute and trombone choirs.
Loaded with delightful twists and turns there’s a surprise around every bend with Concerto for Folded Space!
