One of Dave McDonnell's biggest takeaways from putting time in with dozens of outfits is a desire for his own music to be immediate and reactive, mindful of pulse and the body's innate rhythm but also cerebral. A groove-oriented framework functions as rhythmic scaffolding for his complex harmonic motifs: witness the stacked polyrhythms on the hard-driving 'Bullitt' and lithe 'Vox Orion,' or the lively Latin feel of 'Nodes of the Moon. ' 'Brandywine' is hook-laden and swings hard, similar to the bookends of 'Bakers Man,' the bulk of which is dominated by explosive free-improv fireworks.
