Since there were only three cuts on the various Streamers I broke down and actually purchased some new local music from Bandcamp.
Signal Quartet ~ Signal Quartet
This Detroit-based small ensemble performs original modal mainstream jazz at times, often edgy, and always cohesive. They mix it up with some jazz-rock fusion, thoughtful, calmer compositions, and music parallel to the ECM sound within an imagined or reimagined Kenny Wheeler-John Abercrombie concept. A true co-op quartet, Eric Nachtrab plays bass and is upfront with the fine trumpeter Ben Wolkins. Guitarist Ian Blunden provides scintillating leads and accents, while drummer Sean Perlmutter forcefully holds down his rhythmic end. The result is an introspective or bold approach that is never overbearing, always challenging, and a cut above.
