…a mature piece of soundcraft for an ensemble still in their 20s…With such economy of expression in this trio, there is an understanding of the importance of silence in this music, the superfluous boiled away in the process of its creation.

The music is never too predictable in its direction, proceeding with a quiet urgency, and the trio’s conversational interplay has become all the more rewarding with the addition of Turner.

Looks Like It’s Going To Snow had the goods to please several crowds, from hardcore jazz fans to younger listeners open to different but engrossing music made by their peers.

‘The Progress Suite’ serves to conceptualize the music and the approach of the band. Freedom and composition work in tandem and in juxtaposition. The melody sings a delightful song and then disappears, leaving the field for Arntzen and Turner to set out again on the paths their imaginations unfurl. They do so in the lockstep of seamless parallel lines and by ricocheting off each other. Surprise springs up constantly. Lush and sparse, fragmented and whole, detailed ornamentation and scraggly linearity are clasped in indelible logic.

The interplay between the dark, rich melodies and the rhythmic material Cole and drummer Dan Gaucher work with gives the recording its depth…a CD with a tangible sense of place.

This release leaps to the ear with melody, groove, intelligence, and a heaping dose of personality…Among the marvelous elements of Going to Snow is the way it easily and off-handedly incorporates funk and rock elements without becoming a collection that is dominated by a backbeat aesthetic.
