Meyer/Slavin/Meyer/Black: Other Animal

The team of Peter Meyer/g-elec, Wanja Slavin/as-fl-el, Bernhard Meyer/b and Jim Black/dr create soft moods on this collection of 12 originals. The harmonics are pastoral and misty on pieces like “Drown Dreams” and the floating “Name of Cold Country” which display airy alto sax work, while a bit of muscle is flexed by the rhythm team on “E Dance” and “Blim.” Meyey’s guitar gets dark on the agitated “Mr. Manga” while floating on the cirrus “Cloudline.” More of an indie jazz team which likes to paint oil colors with instruments.
