Welf Dorr/Elias Meister/Dmitry Ishenko/Kenny Wollesen: So Far So Good

Armed with a bright and pungent alto, Welf Dorr joins with Elias Meister/g, Dmitry Ishenko/b and Kenny Wollesen/dr through some kinetic and elliptical tunes. There’s a Monkish quirkiness to pieces such as the bopping “Impatience” and ricocheting “Crazy S”s, while the band creates noirish shadows on the title tune. Meister gets twangy on a Duane Eddy-ish “Bushwick 16” funk fest and Ishenko is reflective on “Eternity” with the team getting serpentine as it winds around “Red Lebanese”. Sharp angled snake charming.
