Drummer Jacob Roved brings together John Ruocco/ts-cl, Thomas Fryland/tp-fh, Rasmus Ehlers Nielsen/p and Jesper Bodilsen/b for a collection of post bop originals with a dash of adventure. Ruocco’s clarinet adds a fresh harmony, sleek on “Breeze” and gliding on “Unveil My Path” as he veers in and out of Fryland’s brassy clutches. For his part, Fryland is soft and pleading with Nielsn on “From The Other Side” and dark under the horns for “The Grand Maze”, joining for rich harmonies during “Prelude” and “In This World”. Roved himself is adroitly keeping the atmosphere cohesive, snapping everyone to attention on “Shadow Motion” and cruising in a V8 on “Last Exit Before Dawn”. Traditional with a twist.
