Very creative compositions contained here, including expansive tonal explorations and soundstage, eclectic timbres, and prismatic texturing. Chicagoan Tomeka Reid is an excellent composer and cellist. She swings, but in delicate balance with formal contours of classical stylings and control. Speaking of style, Ms. Reid's is unique among free jazz musicians. Heady and beautiful and playful, this is a strong, signature outing.
