Album Notes & Community Reviews

American woodwind specialist Ned Rothenberg explores incredibly complex, highly rhythmic avant-garde composition with an expanded ensemble on 'Power Lines'. The recording seamlessly bridges the gap between fiercely modern, dissonant jazz improvisation and intricate, deeply grooving compositional structures. It serves as a striking showcase of Rothenberg's unique ability to weave dense polyrhythms within a large-group context.
