Customer Reviews:

superb modern jazz quartet.......2001-05-13

Bass, drums, sax and trumpet. A classic jazz quartet, a format that has been responsible for some of the best improvised music, from Ornette's late 50s/early 60s bands to Zorn's Masada, and even lesser known ensembles such as the Gold Sparkle Band of recent years. "A Tree Frog Tonality" features compositions by bassist John Lindberg, as well as one by drummer Andrew Cyrille, and the music is an exquisite blend of the composed and the improvised. "Bounce," on Black Saint, was one of the best records of 98, and that version of the JLE featured Dave Douglas on trumpet and Ed Thigpen on drums. This time, the percussion master Cyrille is joined by the Chicago AACM trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith, as Larry Ochs on sax returns from the earlier lineup. Each player has a chance to express beautiful tones, timing, swing, and responsivity to the others, alone and together. If you like the bands I mentioned above, if you like Dave Douglas, if you like Braxton, the Art Ensemble and the AACM, you'll like this as well. Despite the odd name, "A Tree Frog Tonality" is bound to be one of the best jazz records of 2001!
