Review: Pianist Markley’s latest release is a collection of original material written almost entirely by the bandleader as a way to continue his musical relationship with saxophonist Greg Osby. This disc doesn’t break any existing molds, but instead makes great use of post-bop fundamentals. There’s an obvious comfort level that these four men have with each other
If You Like: McCoy Tyner, Wayne Shorter, Eric Dolphy, Art Blakey, Ron Carter
Track Review (favorites denoted by *):
*1/ FTG (6:50) – drums start> uptempo bopping jam> quick stop
2/ Our Walk (7:06) - piano starts> slow jam> slow fade
*3/ Basic Economy (6:45) – bass/drums start> mid-tempo off-kilter jam> quick stop
*4/ Mind-Fire (7:28) – piano starts> slow jam builds to midtempo> slow fade
5/ Road To Ace (9:28) – piano starts> slow jam> slow fade
*6/ Ice-Line (7:37) – piano starts> slow jam builds to midtempo> slow fade
7/ Half Dozen (3:58) – sax starts> uptempo jam> quick stop
*8/ Autumn Air (8:47) – piano starts> slow jam> slow fade
