    Blue Cranes - Swim

    Have to say this is probably my album of the year so far. No real idea how to describe it but I can't stop playing it.

    From Wayside:-

    The members of the quintet – Reed Wallsmith on alto saxophone, Joe Cunningham on tenor saxophone, Rebecca Sanborn on keyboards, Keith Brush on double bass, Ji Tanzer on drums – bring a wide array of various musical experiences to their group-centered aesthetic. The band take an evolutionary step forward on their fourth full-length release.

    Swim is a departure from Blue Cranes' previous, and in some ways simpler, albums. More than half of the album incorporates arrangements for a string trio, and other tracks include other musical guests - cementing the group's love affair with a lush sonic palette. The sounds on Swim, both churning and calming, will please fans of adventurous jazz and avant-garde new music and mark the ripening moment of a band who have been working towards this moment for years.

    I'm not familiar with their older stuff, but I love this album. It's incredible and will probably end up in my top 10 of the year.
