Susan Alcorn Quintet: Pedernal

Susan Alcorn creates Cumberland Gap moods with her pedal steel guitar, leading a team of Mark Felman/vi, Michael Formanek/b, Mary Halvorson/g and Ryan Sawyer/dr through a handful of N ashville skylines. The title tune includes a mystical spaciousness with the strings, while “R.U.R” has bowed bass, and swinging drums guiding the hoedown. Sparkling dots and dashes fill the sky in “A Night in Gdansk” while some rapid runs and foot stomping two stepping on “Northeast Rising Sun”. A Moose Lodge get together.
