Modern jazz, accessible and often pretty but with some edgy soloing on many tracks. Ellman, a guitarist, favors a calm, steely sound, for a deceptively laid-back atmosphere. The compositions don't have obvious melodies, though, and the guitar or sax solos often get twisty and complex. Greg Osby guests on tracks 3,7,8. Points of comparison: A mellower Tim Berne, or a quieter Fieldwork (a trio that's recorded for this same record label). 1*- Mildly spiky composition, midtempo 2*- Midtempo, bit of a stormy feel, nice solos 3- Quiet, mellow 4- Mid/fast, skipping beat like Steve Coleman 5- Slow feel, wandering 6- Slow, mellow 7- Quietly funky shuffle; calm 8*- Fast and twisty 9*- Quietly free and open | ||
