David Wilczewski ‎- Room In The Clouds (2006) [SACD]

Dave Wilczewski's Room in the Clouds is a mature and relaxed offering from a musician who is equally gifted as a player and writer. The instrumentation and conception of this group is, at times, reminiscent of the early Vital Information recordings that Dave participated in as a writer/player, but the music on Room in the Clouds unfolds slowly, the musicians clearly allowing the music to lead them from moment to moment without imposing their ”playing ability” onto the music.
The music is open, challenging, fun to play and thoroughly enjoyable to listen to. In my opinion other player/composers that have been similarly successful in their writing are musicians like Don Grolnick, Mike Mainieri, and Keith Jarrett.
Dave Wilczewski continues to evolve as one of today's most imaginative composers and exceptional saxophone soloists. His distinctive recording, Room in the Clouds, will resonate with fans of the contemporary music scene and undoubtedly stand the test of time.
