I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, The Night Sky, from Robert Jospe' Quartet and it's quite good. Opening with Latin flavored, Crooked Mile, Daniel Clarke on piano and Robert Jospe' set a terrific, rhythmic tempo and Chris Whiteman on guitar cruises the melody with the smoothness of Benson. With Paul Langosch on bass and extended piano work by Clarke, this is a super opener. Pyramids is another track with a heavily rhythmic feel follows a great melodic phrase set by Clarke on piano and Whiteman's guitar work really is quite nice with excellent percussion by Jospe' holding it all together. Flashback is one of my favorite tracks on the release with a funky keyboard, bass and drum setup. Clarke on piano and Whiteman on guitar solo out with tight phrasing pushed by Langosch on bass and Jospe' o drums. Super. Billy Strahorn's classic, Take The A Train, is reworked with Clarke and Whiteman working the melody. Whitehorn's guitar phrasing is swift and stimulating and Clarke's piano workout challenging and tight. With Driving bass by Langosch and crisp drums by Jospe' this is fresh. Wrapping the release is Silver Lining, performed by Jospe' on hand pan. This rings clear and shown ingenuity and solid composition. Very nice closer.
