Bassist
Miroslav Vitous
recorded this quartet session in 1982 with
John Surman
on soprano and baritone saxophones and bass clarinet,
John Taylor
on piano, and
Jon Christensen
on drums. Unavailable in the U.S., the disc includes two remarkable pieces by
Surman
, the lilting 3/4
"Tess"
and the churning, wildly unpredictable
"Paragraph Jay."
Taylor
weighs in with the closing track,
"Windfall,"
another shimmering entry in 3/4 time.
Vitous
' nine-minute opener,
"U Dunaje U Prespurka,"
inspired by a Czech
folk
song, is a marvel of gradual development and abstract grooving.
"Only One,"
a rubato meditation that
dedicates to his late father, finds the leader switching from upright to electric fretless bass.
's rhythmic clicking of keys on bari sax serves as the foundation for
"Carry On, No. 1,"
a wholly improvised piece;
intuitively sends it into high gear about halfway through with superbly chosen low notes.
Journey's End
is highly recommended to those willing to search for it. ~ David R. Adler
