Playing basses, guitar and adding vocals, Ben Tiberio brings together a lyrical post bop team of Nathan Reisning/as, Lex Korten/p-key, Evan Hyde/dr and guest Morgan Guerin/ts for a collection of graceful originals. Reising’s alto is pungent and dark on pieces like the urgent “Telepath In Monotone” and is assertive with Guerin after Tiberio leads the way on the aggressive “Midwife Crisis”. The team has a Metheny-esque majesty with voice and drama for the pretty “(E)motion” while his electric bass is lyrical for the graceful “Harlequin”. The team shows clever unity as the progressively descend and cascade during the title tune and is somber for “Stay”. Well thought deliveries.
