| Trumpeter, composer, and part-time insomniac John McNeil's musical portrayals of lying-awake-at-4AM-staring-at-nothing scenes, ranging from piano tone-cluster mashing tunes to ECM-like grooves to Miles-ish muse, along with an Irish traditional song, and even a demented polka.
Joined by pianist Jeff Jenkins, a New York 1980s new music scene ex-pat now living in Denver, and Mile High-area bassist Kent McLagan, this album is probably John's most adventurous ever and yet retains the musicality, virtuosity, and humor John is known for worldwide. |
