Six tracks and 40 minutes used to make up a nice sized album, but now this release by the collective team Great On Paper is relegated to the designation of “ep.” The team consists of Kevin Sun/ts, Isaac Wilson/p, Simon Wilson/b and Robin Baytas/dr.
The team shows it’s bop chops on the ornithological “Negative Bird” with crisp ride cymbal work provided by Baytas while the rhythm canters like a quarter horse for Sun’s thick toned alto on “Torsion.” Wilson’s piano bounces delightfully on a kinetic read of “I Hear A Rhapsody,” and the team shows a joggers pulse on the tensile “Winnings.” Impressive deep pockets here.
