Bob Gluck: Early Morning Star

Pianist and composer Bob Gluck brings together an artsy team of clarinetist Kinan Azmeh, bassist Ken Filiano, drummer Tani Tabbal and vocalist Andrea Wolper for a collection of ruminations. Wolper’s voice ranges from dark shadows in multiple languages on “Tzur Mishelo/Los Bilbilico” to poetry on the bopping “A Time Of Singing”. Her voice is joined by Azmeh in clever fashion on the harrowing “Friday Song” along with Filiano’s bowed bass, and the team bounces along on “Never Ceasing”. Piano and bass create jagged edges and ripples on “Not For Today” and the team gets into a traffic jam on “Emerge-ency” with elliptical moods to impressionistic effect on “Early Morning Star”. Prismatic tones.
