And though there are solos one encounters the tetraptych: the input of each member during these solos, a dawning realization that the entire group is soloing simultaneously.
Bert Seager – pianist, has written tunes specifically to fit these musicians, their strengths and collaborative chemistry.
Hery Paz – Cuban-born tenor saxophonist plays with a wide ranging and warm sonic palette and profoundly melodic imagination.
Max Ridley – upright bassist makes the music dance while playfully breaking open the grid of time to liberate the proceedings.
Dor Herskovits – Israeli-born drummer, whose deep feel and intelligent phrasing drive and shape the music, holds the key to its ebullience.
One senses their unique personalities and warmth as they each navigate their tasks and changing roles in the unfolding drama. This is the embodiment of interconnection through sound.
Tetraptych.
