<div><p>Here's a mystery: What happened to composer and big band leader prodigy Reuben Fowler? In 2012 to 2013, not yet much into his twenties, Fowler won 5-star ratings and numerous best-recording awards for his debut jazz orchestra recording, <i>Between Shadows</i> (Edition Records, 2013).

The intro track "Too Minor," featuring world-class trumpeter Tom Harrell's blazing solo, is a great example of the album's gifts. Fowler went quiet until his 2018 tribute to Steely Dan, then dropped off the radar as best this reviewer can tell. Do any of AAJ's readers know how to find him?
