Title: A step outside the main stream
Review: This is definately ensemble jazz at its best. The instrumentation is not your standard jazz lineup (cello and double bass and an alternating round of brass with some marvelous clarinet) and there is a slightly formal element in the compositions. All of which makes the sections of free blowing and interplay that much more interesting. Laid back chamber jazz? NO WAY! Complex and dynamic with energy to spare.
