Composer/arranger Brett Gold leads an impressive and modern jazz orchestra through a rich mix of textures and themes. The rhythm team of Ted Kooshian/p, Sebastian Noelle/g, Phil Palomi/b and Scott Neumann/dr is flexible enough to work successfully through pieces like the peek-a-boo booper “Pumpkinhead, P.I.” as well as the mysterious “Nakba,” benefited by Tim Ries’ serpentine soprano sax solo. The orchestra is able to change themes at the flick of a baton, going from Hitchcockian to easy swing on “Infinity Row” while floating like subconscious ideas on the wispy “Dream Moon,” as Noelles’ guitar adds extra cirrus clouds on the latter. The sections work well as teams, getting quirky on “Monkfish” and gentle during “Lullaby For Lilly” while still allowing enough space for solos by “Scott Wendholt’s flugelhorn or Frank Basile’s baritone sax. Impressive-any chance of a gig on the Best Coast?
