Blue Cranes: My Only Secret fa

The team of Reed Wallsmith/as-keys-perc, Joe Cunningham/ts-keys-perc, Rebecca Sanborn/keys, Jon Shaw/b and JI Tanzer/dr create thick textures that sound like a mix of fusion bands Genesis and Van der Graaf Generator. The reeds are thick, with extra wood from Nicole McCabe’s clarinet and brass from  James Powers  on “Forward” and John Savages’s flute here and as well for the lyrical “Gaviota”. Timothy Young plugs in his guitar on the plodding rocker “Rhododendron” with the saxes getting frisky for “Semicircle” and palpable for “A Night In Montaville”. Woodwinds blowing in the breeze.
