McWain applies a '60s-bop piano sound to a fairly free-form setting. Dark, lush sound well informed by the jazz tradition, and some nice burning solos from Assif Tsahar on sax. Great stuff -- every track's good.
1- Free-form jazz intro, great lush bop piano solo in the last few minutes
2- Calm horn/piano duet
3,8- Fast, after sad bass intro. Alternate takes of the same song.
4- Dark
5,9 - Mid/fast: Sparkly piano and aggressive sax soloing. Alternate takes of the same song.
6- Playful, in an eerie way
7- Suite: mid/fast / dramatic midtempo / slow
10- Free-floating, slowish
