Close your eyes and you might think you are listening to a quartet led by Ornette Coleman from the late 1950s or early '60s. But listen some more, and the updated and unique qualities of this extraordinary group led by saxophonist John Gunther reveal themselves. Gunther has a knack for simple, catchy melodies that lend themselves to flights of improvisational fancy. His fluid, yet unpretentious solos sound a wake-up call for the millennium. Gunther is joined by the extraordinary trumpeter Ron Miles, bassist Leo Huppert, and drummer Jay Rosen. While Miles may remind you of the late Don Cherry, he boasts his own voice, which is acerbic, rough, and adventurous. The sole piece not penned by Gunther, Monk's "Crepuscule with Nellie," is played magnificently as a duet of the horns. Every track sparkles, and Huppert and Rosen add considerably to the blend. - Steve Loewy, AMG
