Dion Kerr: Ivy

Sonic moods filled with textures are created by Dion Kerr, who plays a surfeit of instruments including bass, guitar, piano, drums, samples and flute along with an Agatha Christie rotating guest list. Adam O’Farrill brings his post bop trumpet to sear through the splashy synth sounds of “Bloom” while guitarist Jeff Parker joins with saxist Steve  Pardo on a layered and trudging “Cosmos”. Gentle acoustic guitar and synthy percussion percolates on “Mist” with nylon reflections refracting on a spacy “Rays”. Kerr’s blue bass hits the foreground on “Red and Orange” and the team gets fusiony on the gurgling “Wildflowers”. Contemporary contemplations.
