Young American trumpetist (or is it trumpeter?) Peter Evans gathered a group of gifted musicians to create a distinctive sound mixing Bop with modern elements realized by Pluta's live processing. The opener ...One to Ninety-Two already introduces those shifts in styles starting with hard bop and moving into more free jazzy territories throughout the song. One moment you might feel like dancing and a heartbeat later the music takes unpredictable paths. This works fine thanks to the great use of live processing creating several layers of Evan's trumpet playing. But the musicianship beside Evan's great playing is not to be neglected. The rythm section stops and starts, changes pace, Carlos Horns takes over when Evans drops out. It's the collective and the innovative live processing making Ghosts my favourite jazz album of 2011. Don't miss this!
