Some of Rosenwinkel's conceptions fall flat. \"Cubism,\" for example, which he describes as \"a 12-bar arrangement of the 12 major keys--one key per bar,\" is meant to parallel \"the way cubist painters fragmented the basic elements of their art\" but turns out to be a rather bland hopscotch. And \"The Polish Song\" is a quavering acoustic ballad sung by Rosenwinkel in a high-pitched gibberish that he imagines \"might be Polish.\" But there's also evidence here as to why Pat Metheny, John Scofield, and especially Joshua Redman praise Rosenwinkel so effusively in the liner notes. His tunes are distinctive in ways small and large: a chiming bell on the \"Number Ten\" signature riff puts a cherry on that song's buoyant sundae of flavors, while \"Dream of the Old,\" is a multihued tone poem that perfectly captures the wistful\/peaceful\/equivocal tenor of the aging process. At its best, Rosenwinkel's guitar work is reminiscent of Scofield's curlicue phrasing and full-bodied tone. The rest of the quintet handles the diverse material with sensitivity and aplomb, particularly saxophonist Mark Turner and bassist Ben Street. \u003ci\u003e--Britt Robson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 731454304221\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0731454304221\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42142204461315,"sku":"IP-KAJV-QHRV","price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/51ALM5s2h3L.jpg?v=1638672788","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/enemies-of-energy","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
