The Article has images
2008-10-01 13:21:55 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...exploratory, but it's enjoyable. It's rather shallow on the whole. It's good, but generally not insightful -- some needed to dig deeper down and re-invent the music. It's not really of consistent quality to my ears, either I am still wanting to give it four stars even though the adaptations/ covers on the whole are not quite as creative as I...

Much like the Dave Holland Quintet (which both Potter and Smith are a part of) the lengthy improvisations become journeys into the heart of jazz where nothing is taken for granted, and teamwork takes precedence over individual glory. That said, it must be noted that...

The most upbeat piece of music is the opening Unsteady which is a pithy and smart piece of modern jazz. Feel stretches this way out over the course of a fifteen minute improvisation...

...exploratory blowing till something occurs Disposing of these labels throughout, Triptych Myth utilizes its entire musical palette. The bounce of Papa's Gin In The Chicken Feed illustrates how the musicians achieve this by simply playing. Built on an undulating figure played by Cooper-Moore, the song is reminiscent of the feel of a sparse...
