Jazzy quartet with a warm '60s sound in their two-horm themes and a free jazz ethic in their solos. Really nice stuff with a warm sound and some good energy. This is a SoCal group that's been together a few years and have developed quite nicely. They're changing name to "Empty Cage Quartet" (from "MTKJ," get it?). See also Mears/Tiner/Kikuchi/Johnson Quartet. 1- Choppy, perky, mid/fast. Energetic group soloing. 2- Mid/fast, swingy. Into a choppy, squawky, fun trumpet solo. Sax solo gets blurry and fast -- big fun. 3- Slow and looming, into a faster phase with driven, chugging drums 4- Crazy-quilt theme, mid/fast. Fun. 5- Slow, stately. Gets quiet, then starts a slow brew about 5 minutes in. Ends in strong midtempo, with a swirly composition 6- Mid/fast counterpoint, like playful chamber jazz. Creates a nice groove for a tasty, warm trumpet solo. 7- Pulsing, driving, fast, energetic intro. Softer middle. | ||
