Utilizing a double quartet of standard instrumentation and strings, Ted Nash hits his stride with this recording. Nash plays primarily tenor sax, a little clarinet and flute, with Frank Kimbrough (piano), Ben Allison (bass), and Tim Horner (drums). violinist star Miri Ben-Ari, second violinist Joyce Hammann, Ron Lawrence on viola, and Tomas Ulrich on cello comprise the string quartet. They create some unique sonorities, swing on a pair of tracks, and delve into some ethnic nuances. Two of the nine selections, all written by Nash, feature trumpet solos by guest Wynton Marsalis.
