Description
Sunshine! Quartet features four Discus regulars each bringing a composition to the table which together make for a spontaneous and exciting slice of pure jazz skill.
"This return to real time improvisation presents an intriguing prospect, and Archer doesn't disappoint. The play off of tart, staccato saxophone against the ever-alert harmonic slipstream of Corey Mwamba's vibraphone inevitably invokes distant memories of Out To Lunch, as does the underlying structural tension between freedom and groove. Each member of the quartet contributes a composition and throughout the musicians don't just play the structures, but actively transform their composed beginnings through the process of improvisation. Mwamba's knack of reaching inside and gently spinning the material in a wholly unexpected direction is beguiling. - PHILIP CLARK, JAZZWISE
