Mark Turner Quartet - Lathe of Heaven

Mark Turner Quartet "Lathe of Heaven" Mark Turner: tenor saxophone Avishai Cohen: trumpet Joe Martin: double bass Marcus Gilmore: drums Mark Turner is one of the most admired saxophonists of his generation, renowned for his exploratory intellect and intimate expressivity on the full range of the tenor. This is his ECM leader debut, following albums for the label in the cooperative trio Fly with Larry Grenadier and Jeff Ballard, and appearances on key recordings by Billy Hart, Enrico Rava and Stefano Bollani. Turner leads a quartet of kindred spirits here, often entwining in serpentine fashion with rising-star trumpeter Avishai Cohen. They play long, introspective lines of hypnotic grace; and with the lithe rhythm section of bassist Joe Martin and drummer Marcus Gilmore, there is subtle volatility in the air. „Photography by John Rogers http://www.johnrogersnyc.com/“ ECM 2357 - CD 378 0663 http://www.ecmrecords.com http://www.jazzecho.de
