Dave Mac Nab: Dave Mac Nab
Largely dramatic, the session includes extensive improvisation from soloists Mac Nab, Eric Crystal, and Jeff Chimenti. From the happy beat of "A’roma Twist," to the placid overlapping tones of "It Will Come To Me" the band’s modern mainstream character offers a lot of variety. Allowing plenty of time for improvisation, Mac Nab has provided a framework that works; the tracks average 9 minutes in length. "Ascending" begins with a simple idea and finds each soloist implementing it in his own way. Cellist Elliot Humberto Kavee waltzes sadly while saxophonist Crystal pumps fluid pressure and Mac Nab expands into exotic realms. The band highlights its improvising soloists while maintaining a cohesive sense of direction. Recommended.
