Reviewed: 2017-11-29 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: stellar modern jazz led by alto saxophonist Obara. This is his 9th album and his first on ECM. The quartet plays with one mind, but the individual synapses fire in many directions. If You Like: Jan Garbarek, Chris Potter Track Review (favorites denoted by *): 1/ Ula (6:57) - sax starts> dreamy slow tempo soundscape> piano solo> sax solo> jam> false stop> jam > slow fade *2/ One For (6:17) - piano starts> slow tempo jam> lovely piano solo> sow fade 3/ Joli Bord (5:52) - cymbals start> slow rempo jam> piano solo> slow jam> slow fade *4/ Unloved (7:16) - lovely piano starts> slow tempo jam bilds to midtempo> soaring sax solo> piano solo> midtempo jam> slow fade *5/ Sleepwalker (6:43) - piano starts> midtempo jam> sax solo> piano solo swings into uptempo jam> quick stop *6/ Echoes (9:11) - piano starts> slow tempo jam? piano solo swings uptempo> blistering sax solo swings into fast tempo> piano solo> fast jam> slows to fade 7/ Storyteller (6:16) - sax starts> slow tempo jam builds in intensity> piano solo> soaring sax solo> slow jam & fade | ||
