Wildly prolific cornetist Rob Mazurek has reduced his output in recent years
and it seems to have brought him a renewed focus. His recent work is as a good
or better than anything he’s done previously. This is the second album with the
quartet responsible for excellent 2019 recording Desert Encrypts Vol. 1, with
pianist Kris Davis, bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, and drummer Chad
Taylor. The top-notch group sounds even more locked in here, operating as a
collective to support a riveting consolidation of ideas and strengths by
Mazurek. His experiments with wailing vocals, for example, have been unbalanced
in the past, but here they make all of the sense in the world, as an extension
of ecstatic horn blowing. But the real power is in his jagged yet indelible
compositions which form a suite dedicated to his late father, who passed in
2016. Sadly, the cornetist had already cut a tribute to his mother, who died
several years earlier. The sense of loss is palpable, but it’s trumped by a
persevering spirt, none more powerful than on the album’s fiery opener 'Crimson
Wing', a multipartite marvel of hard rhythm, feverish introspection, and spacey
meditation. The whole band is on fire, and while it’s no surprise that Davis is
especially strong, this rates as one of her finest dates in recent memory.
