At 38, Okun is an individualistic voice, an important player, able in his improvisations to refract an entire timeline of jazz vocabulary in a cogent, compositional manner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Pent-Up Chaos \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Kind Bug \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Spillikins \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Jitterbug Waltz \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Eric Dolphy's Tomb \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Falling in Love Again \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Plain Jane \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Giant Steps \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Heaven\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
