Orbit

by Rob Brown, Guerino Mazzola, Heinz Geisser

Overview

The seven fairly free compositions on this set (which are all credited to pianist Guerino Mazzola and percussionist Heinz Greisser) feature plenty of interplay between Mazzola, Greisser, and altoist-flutist Rob Brown. There are many introspective and spacy moments and only a few stretches where there is a lot of fire and chemistry generated. Depending on one's mood, these group improvisations are either fascinating or a bit dull, often alternating between the two extremes. This is a set that grows in interest with each listen but falls short of being essential despite the obvious talents of the musicians. ~ Scott Yanow
