Review

Recorded live in the studio, this CD captures the essence of the Curvature Quartet the brilliant saxophonist Calder Spanier (Charlie Hunter Quartet fame). Mind-blowing improvisational interplay, unusual rhythms, and instrumental virtuosity combine to a highly original and progressively funky acoustic jazz sound. The ensemble includes Jack West on acoustic guitar, Calder Spanier on soprano and alto saxophones, Joel Davel on marimba, and well-known Bay Area drummer Ricky Carter performing on his hybrid percussion/drum kit, with a appearance by Brian Hill on guitar. Carving out new territory in the world of acoustic sounds that you can actually to without hurling, Big Comet Headed Earth steers completely clear of the "smooth jazz" and "out jazz" population centers. This is real, creative music played by four people live in the studio.
