Description
2016 album from saxophonist/composer Kevin Figes and his excellent group.
"Weather Warning's sparky title track hints at the joys to come, Jim Blomfield's synth and Rhodes combining with Mark Whitlam's outrageously offbeat rhythmic patterns to underpin the superb, sputtering duo of Figes and trumpeter Nick Malcolm. It somehow recalls the wonder of 12" vinyl discoveries of the '70s - that time of poring over luxurious gatefold album sleeves; yet Figes' writing sparkles brightly in today's musical landscape. There is so much to enthuse about here, from the swinging, melodic, double-sax immediacy of Empathy, and Birdsong's improvised vocal and instrumental chattering, to the sublime, often spacial beauty of Fall Apart; and alto/tenor/trumpet Horn Improvisation's invention compellingly bridges contemporary classical and jazz. Figes is a consummate saxophonist, his excursions both eloquent and endlessly imaginative; but his delicate mastery of the flute in quartet piece For Cathy is at least as effective as it charmingly weaves around piano ostinati and subtle bass and drums." - AP Reviews
