Refusion is a warm, intimate jazz collection where instrumental conversation and understated vocals meet stories of love, family, memory, change, and letting go. Moving between instrumentals and vocal pieces, the album has the feeling of late-night reflection giving way to morning light, sometimes playful and romantic, sometimes deeply contemplative. At its heart, Refusion feels like jazz about the passages of life: holding close, setting free, remembering those we’ve lost, finding our way home, and learning that sometimes the most meaningful things can be said without saying anything at all.

T.oB was conceived in 2016 as a project by songwriter Chris Bartlett aka PugXXL. For 40 years, he continues to write and record his songs at home as time allows and now uses AI to create versions of these songs for an alternative listening experience. He continues to hone his craft in Florida, in between answering support calls for a software company and while avoiding thunderstorms and hurricanes as often as possible.

Original lyrics and melodies are preserved. Production created using Suno.
