Fairly straight stuff, with rich piano chords and bright horn lines. Soft touch overall, often mixing '60s jazz with chamber-music counterpoint. Playful and accessible with a European sound. Soloing tends to stick to the normal jazz motif, even on freer tracks like #3, with occasional way-out-there improv such as the intro to #2 or #10. Cleanly executed stuff, worth playing during any contemporary or even avant jazz segment. 1- Grand, playful brass intro. 2- Mellow, pleasant midtempo. Grumpy abstract intro. 3- Mysterious and snaky, mildly Persian sound 4- Slowish '60s feel and eventually stormy 5- Snappy, mid/fast with some cool piano 6- Sneaky little piece w/thumb piano, long horn lines 7- Midtempo, '60s feel; reprise of 4 8- Weird little toy-soldier march 9- Tangly midtempo modern bop, grooves nicely 10- Gentle and slow, mostly pretty with rattly intro 11- Slow trot intro. Big piano solo and fast casual sax solo 12- Midtempo descending theme, insistant trumpet solo 13- Gentle, homey, with random ancillary noises 14- Mid/fast but takes its time; ends pleasant and quiet | ||
