Christine Jensen: Day Moon

Christine Jensen goes post bop here playing alto and soprano saxes with her rhythm team of Steve Amirault/p, Adrian Vedady/b and Jim Doxas/dr through an album of originals. The release is dominated by a four part “Quiescence Suite” that has he in an assertive Coltrane mood on Twenty Twenty Blues” on alto and a cascading “Etuede De Mars” on soprano”. Most tnjoyable are the duets, with a bright “Here’s That Rainy Day” with Amirault that evokes Jackie McLean, a bopping “Balcony Blues” and strong title tune”. Assertive reeds.
