Guitarist Joel Harrison has been building up an impressive catalogue, with each album varying a bit from its predecessor. This time around he brings together an unorthodox combination of bassoonist Paul Hanson and trumpeter Cuong Vu along to form the front line, with bassist Kermit Driscoll and the eternally flexible and swinging drummer Brian Blade to keep things both cogent and timely. The music itself has Harrison’s guitar delivering moody effects which meld well with the reed and horn on the pastoral “An Elephant In Igor’s Yard.” Blade creates a floating effect on the drums as “You Must Go Through a Winter” is as delicate as cirrus clouds. Hanson’s bassoon sets a deep mood on “Sacred Love” and the mix of Blade’s mallets and Harrison’s guitar work make for some rich textures on “Spirit House.” Everett Bradley’s voice delivers a poem as Vu’s trumpet serenades on “Some Thoughts on Kenny Kirkland” with the album ending on a reflective mood on “Look At Where You Are.” Rich on atmospheres that take you to many scenarios.
