Improvised jazz (sax, piano, drums) with a calm feel overall, even though the piano and drums provide fast spurts of noise. Somehow it all gels into a languid kind of groove. There's some explosive moments, though -- see the later parts of #2 or the middle of #7. 1- Tense and lingering, very quiet. 2- Lots of sparkly piano; builds at a cautious pace from near-silence to outright loudness. 3- Quick and scattery, but still a languid feel 4- Faster-flowing sax, lots of clackety drums 5- Drifty, murky, with accordion 6- Eerie 7- Nineteen-minute piece that starts quietly active, moves into a grand, furious middle section, and ends very quietly. 8- Scattery little piece, nice | ||
