Otomo Yoshihide Quartet: Allurements of the Ellipsoid

Date: Oct 6th, 2011 · Tags: Jazz CD Reviews · Music Festival

The minimalist improvisation of Otomo Yoshihide’s Quartet, assembled for the 2005 Donaueschinger Music Festival, delivers a thoroughly abstract sound that could never be described as obtuse. This coming together of heavyweight improvisers yielded two discs– one, a studio session and the other, a live performance–recorded over three days. Those familiar with the genius of Yoshihide’s music can follow his career from the noisy rock of his band Ground Zero to his swinging free jazz recordings for small and large ensemble.
