Andrew Rathbun - Shadow Forms II (2013)

Andrew Rathbun – saxophones, electronics; Scott Lee – bass; Jeff Hirshfield – drums. Toronto-born and NY-based saxophonist/composer Andrew Rathbun returns to studio with his core group of “Shadow Forms” to explore further his musical concept of improvisation forming into written music.

"The album is another variation from Rathbun, who likes to experiment with instrumental settings; he has tried duets and big bands before this. The three musicians sustain their empathy throughout all of their explorations of these richly coordinated and melodic pieces and the improvisations are perceptive and incisive. This is a very good album indeed and the music adapts itself to quiet playing in the background or a full- frontal performance on your super hi-fi." ~ Ken Cheetham

“This outstanding release remains fresh with each hearing, as new facets of these performances become apparent to the listener.” ~Ken Dryden
