Editorial Reviews
Jazz Improv Magazine, June 1, 2004
"For listeners who enjoy free-bop and more experimental types of music this recording is an ideal fit."
Product Description
The sonic voyages of Rik Wright's Zen Tornado are built on a foundation of classic jazz, but the quintet of Rik’s guitar joined by saxophone, violin, double bass and drums, quickly sidesteps the confines of of any particular genre. The Seattle-based troupe invigorates the improv jam ethos by incorporating touches of electronica and ambient textures in their modern jazz explorations, giving the tunes an angularity that is the aural equivalent of curling smoke or rippling water. The ensemble’s passion for musical discovery and years of improvisational experience allows them to blend traditional rock and folk instrumentation with impressionistic modern jazz influences. Zen Tornado’s innovative soundscapes are a case study in 21st century composition.
