Choosing narrative routes over those of beauty supplies ammunition for an imagination broad in aspect. And broad indeed are the traces left by the eleven tracks imagined by the quartet. Being able to link the written and the instinctive, the learned and the popular, this CD is a rare gift these days. If only because it is the shared work of musicians who possess the capacity of all humans to be moved by a landsape. Without being wary of the familiar side of the landscape, which will touch your heart. Here, that's what it is about. This music, lively and organic, plunges your head below the surface, to a miniature epiphany full of emotion.
