West Coast cool and the occasional edge of free jazz, with echoes of French impressionism and other classical piano music and popular music of the 1950s and 1960s.

NativeDSD Blog Review
A luminous recording of eclectic and distinctive chamber jazz from a master of the genre. (…) Among Wayne Horvitz’ many accomplishments as a composer, bandleader, collaborator with new music luminaries John Zorn, Bill Frissell and Butch Morris, his Songlines albums stand out as milestones on a long and artistically successful musical journey.
Sound & Vision
Tucker Martine puts guitar at left, piano at right, and the rhythm section across the front for a vivid sound.
Audiophile Audition
Horvitz skirts loft Jazz atonality on some tracks but most of them are quite accessible and highly original music-making.
Subtle use of the Surround Sound Channels contribute only to a more natural presence of the instruments in front of you.
Downbeat
Summons up forlorn images of a lost heartland. Every note seems to carry meaning and purpose.
Voir.Ca
Delicious Chamber Jazz. Performed by a well-balanced quartet offering dexterity without neglecting mystery.
