A totally great live set from Quasimode – and one that really returns
the combo to the core brilliance of their first few records from Japan!
The setting is completely unfurled and unbridled – the main quartet
soaring away in a fast flurry of piano, bass, and percussion – always
with a modal groove, and handled with plenty of soul – and topped
throughout with tight horns from the Brassmode quartet – whose tenor and
trumpet lines are especially nice, and really help deepen the soul of
the music! There's only a bit of keyboards to bring in some slight
electricity – but overall, things are mostly acoustic, very jazzy, and
played live – with energy that even tops the group's recent studio
albums. Two tracks feature vocals – and titles include "Febre Samba",
"Another Sky", "The Man From Nagpur", "All Is One", "Relight My Fire",
"El Paso Twist", and "Give It Up Or Turn It Loose".
