Pointer . We caught up with E.E. to discuss his compelling new 2026 album, Downstream Impressions , an imaginative collaboration with poet and storyteller James Benger , along with new music planned for later in 2026 and his ever-evolving creative journey. Downstream Impressions blends original jazz compositions with the rich poetry of James Benger, whose thought-provoking words explore humanity, nature, and the cosmos. Their artistic partnership began years ago while performing together with the River Cow Cosmic Orchestra , eventually leading to the creation of this unique recording that seamlessly merges spoken word, music, and improvisation into a deeply immersive listening experience. As always, it's a pleasure catching up with E.E. Pointer, one of Kansas City's most adventurous musical voices. Enjoy this fascinating conversation about creativity, collaboration, jazz composition, poetry, and the stories behind this remarkable new release.
