Commencing with "Why Would a Whale Act Like This?", the sextet is off and
running. With no piano in sight, Vinnie has the guitar fronted rhythm team
keeping everything in focus with solid, yet quirky arrangements for the three
horns and inspired solos from each. The interplay between the horns and the
guitar is always intricate. Golia is a master of composing layers of of
complex, contrapuntal horn riffs with interlocking lines. The music here is
pretty progressive and involves diverse strategies. On "Photoshoot, One, Two",
Vinnie plays a fine slow-burning bari solo while Noyce's guitar plays elegant,
dreamy notes underneath. Trumpeter Dan Rosenboom is yet another great soloist
and has a couple of his own CDs on the Nine Winds label that I look forward to
checking out. With many less discs coming out on Nine Winds, it has given
Mr. Golia a chance to compose wealth of great music. Hence, this disc is 76+
minutes long and is filled to the brim with great music. Certainly too much to
describe here but worthy of your patient consideration.
