A genuinely 'modern' Jazz recording - no standards,swing, everybody solos and head out! But rather - group interplay, free blowing and influences from other musical worlds than Jazz - most obviously of course Olivier Messiaen; whose love of transcribed birdsong is mentioned in the liner notes by Jeff Silverbush - but who is also heard in some of the piano chording. A lot of the tracks are shorter than I might have expected and it's like we are briefly dipping into sound worlds that Jeff has created - I can imagine that live, these pieces will be stretched and manipulated by the players, who do hint at the kind of group inteplay that informs the best live Jazz. So in a sense the music feels restrained by the format and this is why I have given 4 stars - but I'm sure that if I saw this group playing the same material live in a small club, it would merit as many stars as I was allowed!! It's definitely my kind of Jazz and I would recommend it to anybody who wants to hear where Jazz is today (rather than in the 1960s) and where it's going in future!
