It became increasingly clear to Durant that he should document his music in the form of a new record. He simply needed the right opportunity and the musicians to make the record he envisioned. In January 2020, the new record, Point of Reference, will see its official release. With his brother Jon producing, Durant put together a band of musicians with serious professional chops. Steve Hunt and Baron Browne, who Durant first met in the early 1980s via guitarist Randy Roos, are seasoned veterans with resumes that include recordings and tours with Stanley Clarke, Billy Cobham, and Jean-Luc Ponty, as well as lengthy associations with Allan Holdsworth (Hunt) and Steve Smith’s Vital Information (Browne). Drummer Vinny Sabatino is a longtime friend and musical partner of Jon’s and has played with Browne in the well-regarded Boston-area band Night Shift for nearly twenty years. Their shared history gave them just what Durant was seeking. The chemistry, he says, is “palpable thanks to our common reference points.” When asked after a session to describe the music, Jon enthused, “It’s what Steely Dan would sound like if they did an instrumental record in 1975.”
