about

Much of what one might want most in a music is apparent in a Salvation Army band: it’s the utopian combination of collective will, spiritual message and community good. The same dynamic is apparent in this version of free improvisation, a group dialogue with strong roots in the jazz tradition......While Dunmall can proceed with the intensity of a quest, the engine of his line is rooted in melody and the idea of variation. It’s also a flexible trajectory, shifting with the impulses of the moment and the input of his partners. There’s reflection and wit, aside and extended conversation, with moods from playful to intense. There's much to be said for what Stephens and Marsh bring to the performance, whether as an empathetic backdrop - resonant concord bass, a shimmering halo of cymbal or unlikely snare accent - or on their own terms, generating counter-melody and rhythmic dialogue, creating a music that's multi directional - Stuart Broomer, Point Of Departure.

When Dunmall breaks out the New Thing rhetoric, the rhythm section is right there to support him and when the volume drops, interjections crackle and dance around each other with sinewy grace"
Marc Medwin, All About Jazz.

....free improvisation, calmly and gently exploring the sounds and the rhythms. This is indeed not a blowfest, there is no aggression or harshness to be heard, but rather musical openness, tentative explorations and huge amounts of musical feeling. And it's especially the latter which is really becoming Dunmall's trademark, his tone is warm, buttery, rounded, yet the end result and the overall tonality and atmosphere superbly co-created by the rhythm section. Stephens and Marsh are extremely sensitive and precise musicians, contributing to the overall subtlety and expressiveness of this album." Stef Gijssels, Free Jazz.
