A 1988 album from soprano saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom; the quartet consists of Fred Hersch on piano, Kent McLagan on bass and Tom Rainey on drums.
All the pieces excepting a couple of standards are compositions by Bloom; she has an ear for attractive and sometimes quite complex melodies and she makes intelligent use of electronics in her playing – though when not using effects she has the most ravishing sound – especially on ballads.
Her groups are always inventive and inspired – this is a really well-integrated and creative band – a great listen.
The CD has a playing time of 46.35 minutes.
Shame there are no sound samples available.
