About
Following up the dreamy mélange of string quartet, hip-hop, and abstract jazz that was 2018’s <i>Origami Harvest</i>, Oakland trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire returns with <i>on the tender spot of every calloused moment</i>, revisiting the hard-hitting acoustic sound of his working quartet with pianist Sam Harri, bassist Harish Raghavan, and drummer Justin Brown (the same lineup that recorded 2017’s <i>A Rift in Decorum: Live at the Village Vanguard</i>). In the confines of the studio, they’re not a bit less energized and audaciou. There’s a certain loose and limber authority and turn-on-a-dime polish in such pieces as “Blues (We measure the heart with a fist),” “Tide of Hyacinth” (featuring percussionist/vocalist Jesus Diaz), and “An Interlude (that get’ more intense).” .
