Album Notes & Community Reviews

The master vibraphonist introduced a highly potent new ensemble for this ECM session, prominently featuring the lyrical guitar work of Mick Goodrick and the dynamic rhythm section of Abraham Laboriel and Harry Blazer. The compositions bridge the gap between complex, post-bop harmonic structures and the spacious, pristine aesthetic characteristic of the label. The recording captures a vital, energetic evolution in Burton's pioneering approach to four-mallet jazz.
