A masterpiece of modern jazz that combines cool tension and quiet passion.
This is one of the Prestige tetralogy, and the sharp trumpet and tight rhythm section stand out as one unit, showcasing the essence of hard bop.
The sound of the trumpet resonates as if cutting through the space, highlighting the depth of expression contained in each sound. The rhythm section is restrained yet precise, and a sense of tension hidden in the silence dominates the whole piece. The breath that emerges between each sound is beautiful, and the subtleties of pause and improvisation that are the essence of jazz are fully felt. An immeasurable heat resides within the restrained performance.
