Modern bebop, mostly "extended" (10- or 20-minute) versions of Holland's compositions. Has solid energy but a softly summery sound, happy. This quintet has been together more than 5 years, giving the players time to absorb the compositions and work them into these longer pieces Lots of criss-crossing horn lines (sax/trombone) and a cool vibes/marimba wash over everything. Saxophonist Chris Potter, who's always struck me as bland, sparks some real fire on A2 and B5. 1*- Upbeat; opens w/softly twining horn lines, moves into propulsive solos 2- Mid/fast, scattery but an "easy" sound 3*- Fast and playful. Cool marimba intro. 4- Mid/slow swaying; like a tangiential "My Favorite Things" 5*- Fast bebop pitter-patter; coolly relaxed theme DISK TWO 6- Mellow; becomes a fast free-for-all near the end 7*- Fast and skippy and energetic. Cute sparse horn break in the middle. 8- More sparse. Features trombone and vibes. 9- Mid/fast popping feel | ||
