Echoes – Every New Day

Arguably one of the most underrated members of the F-ire collective, guitarist-composer Jonny Phillips has been making consistently good records for the best part of a decade and it's not too great a shot of hyperbole to say his group Oriole has all-star stature. The likes of saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock and Idris Rahman, bassist Ruth Goller and drummer Seb Rochford to name but a few of the band members - all handle Phillips' largely Afro-Brazilian influenced repertoire with the requisite nuance as well as dynamism. and the results are impressive. This set is perhaps just a touch more shadowy and broody than 2006's Migration and the astute use of Ben Davis' cello amid low grainy harmonies from the reeds really imbues the music with a fraught, edgy atmosphere, slightly recalling classic Baden Powell recordings.
