Pianist Shuteen Erdenebaatar teams up with Nils Kugelmann/b, Valentin Renner/dr and Anton Mangold/ss-ss-fl on a collection of post bop originals. The team is fluid with Mangold’s soprano on “In a Time Warp” and assertive as Renner drives hard on “Ups and Downs”. Mangold’s flute swirls on the upbeat “An Answer From The Distant” with a bold alto skipping over Renner’s cymbals for “Rising Sun”. Kugelmann bows and p icks through a dramatic “ Saudade” with the leader showing her talents on a solo aria of “Summer Haze”. Modern musings.
