Joe Giardullo's 14-piece band dubbed the Open Ensemble is named with good reason. Unlike many other groups that feature improvisation as their centerpiece, Giardullo demands a spacious precept that emphasizes tacit space as much as the notes, de-emphasizes counterpoint, and allows the music to breathe deeply. He also is not big on personal interactive listening skills as much as listening to one's self, and ensuring that each individual contribution has the utmost meaning and depth. What you hear, on a completely different level than usually conceived, is a string of snippets that at times coincide, flow and ebb like an easy running river, and never congeal to the point where they blend the vast color palette employed into any one darkened or discernible hue... - Michael G. Nastos, AMG
