Tania Gill Quartet: Disappearing Curiosities

Tania Gill plays piano and MG-1 as she leads a team with Lina Allemano/tp, Rob Clutton/b and Nico Dann/dr through a mix of tunes that range from Spike Jones to hip swing. Allemano is vaudevillian on “Knocked Over” and artsy for the New Orleanish “Jaunty Woo”. There are some playful angles on “Climate Striker” and bopping moments for “Frisbee”. Gill is plaintive and somber for “Marsh Music” and “Tangled Branches”, with Dann adding brushes on the European mooded “Apology”. Pastel paintings.
