There is a marvelous moment on the first disc’s pace setting “Free I” where the pianist’s abrupt, prodding, jabbing chords are perfectly complemented by DeJohnette’s stuttering, quaking accompaniment, redolent of a fish fighting to breathe out of water. Werner and DeJohnette had previously appeared with David Liebman on Fire (Jazzline, 2018), and the pianist’s own leader date A Delicate Balance ( BMG France/RCA Victor, 1997). There’s a particularly supple connection between the quartet that makes their interaction a joy to hear. The rapport of the group can be traced back to several associations the saxophonist procured over the years, for example Koppel had played in a group with Kenny Werner, Scott Colley and Antonio Sanchez, and DeJohnette, always up for creative, exploratory music rounds out the project.
