Jean-Marc Foltz w/ Matt Turner & Bill Carrothers - To the Moon

Rotcod Zzaj, Improvijazzation Nation

Matt, the cellist on this distinctly adventurous improvised set, is one of the “names” I have collaborated with in the past… Bill has been reviewed in these pages quite a few times, so the only player I wasn’t familiar with was Jean-Marc… a very pleasant and professional set, I’ll tell you.  It is deep, mysterious, and in some sections, even “dark”.  Ten marvelous sonic adventures for those with adventure in their ears… all other need not apply.  My favorite was “Moondrunk”.  In the overall, this is one of the best improv sessions I’ve listened to yet in 2010, and it gets my MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED rating, as well as an “EQ” (energy quotient) rating of 4.98.
