Navigation offers an exhilarating chase of a listen. Each track is something of a thicket that one has to navigate as well, but that is the thrill of it, particularly because the playing is so responsive to what the ensemble is inventing and discovering. This is freeing jazz, and as we say in ATL, I appreciate you. jly54
unlike any sax/ string collaboration ive ever heard. leigh and brötzmann never try to overpower one another, instead, collaborating as one and respecting one anothers prowess, with each leading the music at various points while leaving room for the input of the other. i do want to shout out leighs ability to create chaos with her pedal steel without resorting to amp distortion, its amazing. ronnie dion
