Paul Dietrich - 5+4 (CD)

Trumpeter Paul Dietrich's 5+4 arose from the composer's desire to explore the possibilities of the string quartet within the context of modern jazz. With this group, Dietrich, who also leads both a jazz quintet and a big band, found a solid middle ground between large ensemble compositional approach and small group sensibilities. The result is a record that feels large in scale yet intimate in it's improvisational landscape.
