Acoustic Jazz Quartet- Organic (CD)
Origin 82407
"Organic Unity" the approximate center point of the Acoustic
Jazz Quartet's new recording Organic, fairly well sums up
in an aural sense the constantly evolving vision of this fine
West Coast quartet. This slightly Bossa piece shows exactly
how far an already superb quartet has come since its previous
release, Acoustic Jazz Quartet (Naxos Jazz 86033, 1999) and
David Sill's previous offerings Journey Together (Naxos Jazz
86023, 1999) and Bigs (Naxos Jazz 86070, 2001). The band's
music is seamless as smoke and aromatic as the complex bouquet
of the Far East, a great but subtle influence on the band.
Again guitarist Jamie Findlay and saxophonist David Sills
weave a sumptuous silken web of brilliant contemporary jazz.
The sound is very easy-going, starting with the skipping "J
& L" and proceeding through original ballads such as "Darkness
Upon the Earth" and "Bahji." Sills and the band reprise his
composition "Bigs," providing a more revealing rendition than
the original recording. Sills turns introspective on his circuitous
composition. The songs tend to be lengthy, five minutes of
more, offering intelligent development and consonance to occur.
Organic is the perfect follow-up to the band's original release.
This is an airtight ensemble making rarified music. Highly
Recommended.Visit the Acoustic Jazz Quartet.

"...Guitarist Jamie Findlay makes a good foil for Jensen. His solos are lyrical and show a mature knowledge of this style of guitar. Too many guitarists today are out of the fusion mold and see solos as an excuse for technical displays. Findlay paces himself, making every note count, letting the music unwind naturally."
