Album Description "This is heady stuff ? interesting, organic and listenable. ****" - DOWNBEAT Horvitz?s brand-new chamber jazz ensemble works the territory between improvised and contemporary chamber music, notable for memorable melodies, precise group interplay, and strong solo contributions. The group members are well-known, classically-schooled players with technique to burn and their own distinctive styles. Sophisticated, striking music will appeal to jazz/classical/audiophile/new age fans. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA kind of Pacific Northwest John Zorn in his more sedate moo Jan P. Dennis | Monument, CO USA | 08/17/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "The intersection of chamber music, jazz, and New Music often produces wonderful listening experiences. One thinks, for example, of Peter Garland, Sylvie Courvoisier, Bang on a Can, and Stuart Dempster.
I really wanted to like this music, but I confess I'm having trouble accessing its vibe. Wayne Horvitz, its organizer and leader, describes this as chamber music that just happens to contain improvisation. I'm OK with that description. I'm not altogether OK with what happens in the actual execution. Yes, it has its moments of crystalline beauty. Yes, there's a lot of killer precision playing. Yes, there's a kind of attractive angularity. But I have to say it seems slightly stilted. Then again, maybe that's what Horvitz and co. are going for: highly arranged, classically oriented, jazz-tinged chamber music for the new century. One could do worse. And I have to say, it's growing on me, willy-nilly. One day I may actually thoroughly enjoy it, rather than just appreciating it; I certainly hope so. Absolutely worth checking out, especially if you have proclivities toward this sort of thing. ****1/2." |
