one of the best jazz cds of the year 2008, allabout jazz new york. " poetry in motion, by the collective group 'conference call' deserves to be considered as one of the year's best for the simple reason that its balance of thought and emotion, structure and freedom, clarity and abandon, is exquisitely and transparently laid out. regardless of who composed any particular tune, providing a distinctive voice, the group acts as an organic unit, with the total sound becoming more than the sum of its parts." (budd kopman, allaboutjazz 10/'08) "... marking the tenth anniversary of this venerable ensemble this session offers a marked departure from their live sets with brilliant studio sound that captures every nuance of their expansive abilities. a remarkably varied and rewarding listen, poetry in motion is one of conference call's finest offerings" (troy collins in allaboutjazz '08/2008) recorded september 7, 2005 and september 28,2006 at peter karl recording studios, brooklyn, ny. mixed by john rosenberg november 4, 2006 produced by conference call for clean feed edited by george schuller mastering by jens tröndle gebhard ullmann (ss, ts & bcl) michael stevens (piano) joe fonda (bass) george schuller (drums, percussion & hammer whistle) |
