about

"Everything in this improvisation interlocks well - the narrative jumps sharply from sensual chamber to free jazz expression." - Spontaneous Music Tribune

"Crunch is an acoustic album, and features a sophisticated melodic-harmonic style (a sort of post-dodecaphony enabling an affective density...) offering strong emotional engagement. There're laments & feelings of melancholy & nostalgia, remembrance more broadly, but also a broader palette moving through various moods, i.e. from tenderness into a sort of carnival or even horror (briefly) vibe, through some sultry jazz, in a sort of emotional kaleidoscope (that nonetheless moves at a rather human pace). (There's perhaps a post-Tristano feel developing eventually out of the extended techniques as well, a sort of limpidity at times, a kind of classical vibe balancing the intensity of the opening shards....) And I've actually come to appreciate these shorter albums, more like one side of an LP, in that they do provide enough material (especially at this density) to feel as though one's heard a "statement." - Todd McComb - Medieval/Jazz Thoughts
