Trombonist Mariel Austin brings together an impressive big band that boasts the likes of Noah Preminger on tenor along with a rich string section for this five song ep . The team is big and bold with Neil Patton’s electric bass setting a groove for “A Rough, Unsorted Compiling of Ways Not To Exist” and a rocking “Mirrorshift” while the nourish read of Wayne Shorter’s swirling“Night Dreamer” includes fervent solos by Preminger and vibist Andria Nicodemou. The leader gets the spotlight on a frantic “One-Way Journey Home” and teams with lovely voice on a poetic “Runner in the Rain.” Wide ranging colors on this prismatic album.
