The quintet features a rich panorama of music composed and arranged
by Larry Porter. Florian Trübsbach - alto and David Beecroft - tenor
are a formidable front line crafting a particularly resonant blending
of their saxophones and contributing strong and inventive solos.
The rhythm section of Porter on piano, Johannes Fink - bass, and
Andrea Marcelli - drums plays with a combination of drive and openness
allowing the group to climb to climactic peaks or hover in dramatic
suspense during their improvisational flights. All in all, beautiful
and fascinating interpretations of refreshingly original music.
