With six notable releases such as "X," "Fulham," "Motion," "Music for Situations," "Jazzbasilli," and "Live!," Herd has showcased a wide range of musical prowess. Starting with "Music for Situations," the group has established a penchant for creating atmospheric soundscapes that serve as a backdrop for complex, emotive jazz melodies and harmonies. Later works like "Motion" encapsulate the dynamic range of the ensemble, conveying a sense of evolution and fluid transitions between moods. The live album "Live!" captures the raw energy and spontaneity of their on-stage performances, cementing Herd's reputation as a compelling act both in the studio and in a live setting.
