Matty Harris: Double Septet
By Track review of "Oh, A Little Day Trip Around The Crunch"The fourth and final track "Oh, a Little Day Trip Around the Crunch," starts with contrasting horns statements that occasionally overlap, and they restructure the main storyline with alternating cadenzas and wide leaps. Moreover, the rhythm section announces its presence as the band works through capacious interludes and linear movements. During the bridge, the soloists mix it up with free-form patterns and whirling breakouts. Besides the cerebral implications the artists are obviously enjoying the session. At one point, they completely dismantle the piece, as though they tossed a completed jigsaw puzzle on the floor with the intentions of starting from scratch. Towards closeout they gradually stitch the primary motif back together. Indeed, it's an engaging set that unveils other niceties on subsequent listens.
