Light of tone and phenomenally agile, the sound of Mark Turner’s tenor saxophone is so beguiling that I’d fortunately take heed to him enjoying from a e-book of workout routines. His personal music, although, is kind of demanding. Which means you need to listen and sometimes lose the plot, which is not any unhealthy factor. It sounds even higher the second time round. His quartet is accomplished by trumpet (Jason Palmer), bass (Joe Martin) and drums (Jonathan Pinson). The absence of a piano or some other concord instrument leaves lots of open house, which they exploit with subtlety and creativeness.
All eight items are composed by Turner; he decided the final environment of every, writing a part of the music upfront. Past that it’s a mutual course of. The interaction between Turner and Palmer is kind of excellent, two melodic traces transferring between concord and dissonance, but at all times in contact, at all times on the identical journey. And, with ECM’s fabled readability, you possibly can comply with all of it intently. The album was impressed by a sci-fi novel of the identical title by Stanisław Lem. You don’t must have learn it to take pleasure in this music to the total.
