Review

Challenging without being obtuse, spacious without being spacey, Matt Flinner's second effort bridges the gap between melodic old-time music and structure-slicing "newgrass." One of the hottest mandolinists in contemporary acoustic music, Flinner composes both terse, elegant instrumentals--the title track, for example, has the wistful, timeless feel of a British Isle folk song--and open-ended, improvisational epics. On the five-minute "Sam I Am" (a sly wink at kindred spirit Sam Bush), Flinner and bassist Todd Phillips call and respond deftly, while Darol Anger saws some eerie, off-axis fiddle licks. Flinner clearly has his eye on the acoustic jazz ventures of David Grisman, but through his light, lyrical touch, as well as Stuart Duncan's impeccable fiddle and Jerry Douglas's razor-fine dobro, he endows much of Latitude with a distinct and often beguiling country feel. --Roy Kasten
