Endangered Blood. This was some of the tightest, most sophisticated
chordless quartet playing I've heard in this festival or otherwise.
The writing was hip but not overly complex and emphasized melody in
conjunction with harmony instead of vice versa. There were elements
of bebop, Mariachi, free jazz and post-bop all seamlessly strung together.
Noriega is an alto player I NEED to hear more of, plain and simple.
(All about Jazz)
