The quartet of Joe Morris/g, Frank Carlberg/p, Pascal Niggenkemmper/b and Luther Gray bring together 6 originals that are high on interpretive improvisation. A mix of ambient musings by Carlberg and Niggenkemper are rumbled along by Gray on the title track, while a post bop piano lineruns a rapid line on “Cadillac Squawk.” There’s a long piano solo intro before a melancholic trio takes over “Now and Forever” while a tumbling up and down pattern feel like Jack and Jill following the hill on ”Who Eats Who?” Patterns that weave in and out of comprehensibility take up “Research and Get it” with Morris’ guitar going outside and long. Would love to know how much of this was on the sheet music.
