Description

Mark Turner is one of the most admired saxophonists of his generation, renowned for his exploratory intellect and intimate expressivity on the full range of the tenor horn. Lathe of Heaven is his sixth album as a leader but the first under his own name since 2001. Its also his leader debut for ECM, following two fine albums for the label in the cooperative trio Fly with Larry Grenadier and Jeff Ballard, plus appearances on key ECM recordings by Billy Hart and Enrico Rava. Turner leads a quartet of kindred spirits here, often entwining serpentine with rising-star trumpeter Avishai Cohen as they play long, introspective lines of hypnotic grace; and with the lithe rhythm section of bassist Joe Martin and drummer Marcus Gilmore, there is subtle volatility in the air.

    • Chamber of Dreams
Lyrical, improvised chamber music, mostly at ballad tempos, for a pianoless quartet that often sounds like the Fly Trio +1; LATHE OF HEAVEN, title courtesy of an Ursula Le Guin novel about a man whose dreams literally come true, is a subtle, demanding album for people who like subtle, demanding music. Mark Turner and Avishai Cohen are both cool-toned, meditative soloists who never met a groove they didn't want to take in another direction entirely. "Sonnet for Stevie" and "Lathe of Heaven," Turner's nods to more conventionally swinging jazz tunes, are atypical in maintaining a boppish pulse, whereas on the other tracks Joe Martin and Marcus Gilmore form a very independent-minded rhythm section of colorists and commentators. "The Year of the Rabbit," variations on a four-note vamp, showcases a thrilling Cohen solo, while "Brother Sister 2" revisits a track from Year of the Snake , now slowly accelerating into a slinky trumpet/sax duet. This is music that takes its time in discovering where it wants to go, and the journey is fascinating. ... show more

    • A jazz gem for the mind and spirit
Wow, this record grows on you. It is not for the casual listener. I am growing to love Avishai Cohen's trumpet playing, up there with other young lion and genius Ambrose Akinmusire in artistry. But this record is the expression of Mark Turner- minor keys, mystery, unresolved phrases, searching and meditative, deeply spiritual in tone. As Mark Turner said in an interview, there are influences of Miles and Wayne Shorter here. It is icy cool in most places, and Marcus Gilmore makes it groove and move so subtly. The more you listen, you realize how pristinely beautiful and just bad-ass cool it is. The recording itself is so pure and a work of art in itself. Turner's deep sax tone is just beautiful. Avishai Cohen's trumpet explorations of bizarre scales and phrases is just stunning, some of the best horn playing I have ever heard. This is such a gem, I will be listening for many years to come. ... show more

    • Wonderful album by the Mark Turner quartet
As soon as I heard about this album, I got pretty excited - an album of Turner compositions, performed a piano-less quartet including trumpeter Avishai Cohen and the great drummer Marcus Gilmore. It doesn't disappoint. The inevitable point of departure is the 2nd Miles Davis quintet's studio albums - that sleek, dry, abstract, cerebral sound - though Turner's group goes in a different direction. One of the other reviews describes this as "chamber music" with "ballad tempos", but respectfully, I definitely don't hear that - aside from the slower bluesy compositions toward the end, the first four tunes are taken at a fairly brisk pace. And while this studio album certainly is more restrained than this group's live performances/recordings (just like the 60s Davis quintet), there's a subtlety on Lathe of Heaven that wouldn't necessarily show up on stage. Glad to have this one! ... show more

    • Meh.
The album is quite disappointing compared to live performances. I attended thee sets on two different engagements at the Village Vanguard and was so impressed that I immediately pre-ordered the CD. The live performances were warm and energetic. The Studio performance was cold and mechanical in comparison. I've been a fan of Mark Turner for several years and often buy almost any recording he has performed on. Unfortunately, this album was more like a modern classical recording than a contemporary jazz album. I'm not a proponent the late 90's early 00's sound of the Wynton School but that sound would have be preferable to the rigid and austere recordings that contrasted to his live work. I hope a live version of these songs will be released for the community to hear his full range. ... show more

    • An astonishing quartet
Oh, this is a superb album! I love Mr. Turner's elegant and fast playing, reminiscent of Joe Henderson. The bass of Joe Martin and the drums of Marcus Gilmore are a fantastic team (They were also on Chris Potter's latest album, "The Dreamer is the Dream" in the same Avatar recording studios for ECM a couple of years after this one.) The amazingly fluid and inventive trumpet playing of Avashai Cohen, wide range, facile and brilliant technique, adds to the crystal clear mix. Do check this out! Mr. Turner is making some terrific music! ... show more
