Description:

Mark Turner, one of the "most influential saxophone players" in jazz today, released his first ECM leader quartet release in 2014. Known for his exploration and intimate expression across the full range of the tenor, Turner is one of the most admired saxophonists of his generation. No chordal instruments are present in this quartet, which often serpentines with trumpeter Avishai Cohen. Along with the supple rhythm section of bassist Joe Martin and drummer Marcus Gilmour, the subtle instability of the music is also appealing. (C)RS
