I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, The Road To Trantor, by Carl Schultz and it's described as the soundtrack to a science fiction movie that only exists in his head. Opening with Journey, Carl Schultz on sax lays out the theme with Adam Benjamin on keys creating an environment. With light cymbal text and a tight snare rhythm by Alwyn Robinson, Zack Teran on bass, Tim Wendel on guitar creates rhythmic dialog joined back by Schultz to conclude. Interesting opener. Uneven time signature on the intro of Caves of Steel gives Schultz a wide land for his sax work and super tight drum work by Robinson a strong passage to Benjamin on keys. A cool guitar improvisational passage by Wendel is some of my favorite work on the release. Gladia is a strong composition with Schultz on flute paired with his own sax work in call and response on melody over a super guitar rhythm by Wendel. Extending further on sax with Benjamin on piano, and Schultz again on flute... very nice. Wrapping the release is upbeat, The Spirit of Adventure, with a poppy sax lead by Schultz. The definite radio work of the release, Teran's bass work shines nicely with Benjamin's rhythmic piano work throughout and exceptional drum work by Robinson.
