A double-length set that showcases the ever-growing, ever-evolving talents
of drummer Quin Kirchner – working here in a variety
of settings with help from some other great talents on the Chicago scene! Most
of these tunes have a core sense
of structure – and even when Quin is improvising more freely, he still finds a way to swing – working here on conventional drums, other percussion instruments, and even a bit
of kalimba too – alongside a mix
of players that includes Nick Broste on trombone, Nate Lepine on tenor and flute, Nick Mazzarella on alto, Jason Stein on bass clarinet, Greg Ward on alto, Rob
Clearfield on piano, and Matt Ulery on bass. Many numbers have a spacious, ambitious vibe – almost spiritual jazz,
of a quality that really has us respecting Kirchner more than ever – and the double space
of the album is really needed to allow this majestic message the room to unfold properly. Titles include "Ecliptics", "King Korn", "
Jupiter Moon", "Horizons", "At This Point In Time", "Bata Chop", "Pathways", "Star Cluster", and "Moon Vision".
