Fourteenth Freedom:
The last time around, this hip combo gave us eight freedoms – and while they've shortened the number here, they've also really augmented their music in a really great way – almost as if they're merging spiritual jazz expressions with some of the building minimalism of the Steve Reich/Terry Riley generation – all of which makes for a very unique approach! Drummer Zach Barocas leads the group as before, with a very masterful command on the kit – but the longer tunes have a nice journey as they find their way to their core, then really set fire – working with an unusual lineup that includes voice from Janet Morgan, piano from J Robbins, cello from Gordon Withers, oboe and English Horn from Lenny Young, and a mix of baritone, flute, bass clarinet, and stritch from Mark Cisneros. The album also has a stunning use of viol da gamba by Amy Domingues, an instrument you're not as likely to find in in a spiritual jazz combo, and one that further expands the sonic palette in a really wonderful way.
