REVIEW: TONY WREN / LARRY STABBINS / HOWARD RILEY / MARK SANDERS - FOUR IN THE AFTERNOON


 

TONY WREN / LARRY STABBINS / HOWARD RILEY / MARK SANDERS - FOUR IN THE AFTERNOON (Emanem Disc, 2002)


Produced by Martin Davidson

Recorded by Steve Lowe


Tracks: 1- A Soft Day, 2- Game of Two Halves, 3- Where are the Snows, 4- Rough Crossing, 5- Blue Dark, 6- Embarrasment of Witches, 7- Transcension


This is a kiler quartet: Tony Wren on double bass; Howard Riley on piano; Larry Stabbins on sax and Mark Sanders on percussion. This guys create some of the greatest spontaneous music I have ever heard. They have the musical skills and technique to achieve a great result. It is amazing to listen to Stabbins sax runs played over Riley´s piano arrangements. I think this is one of the ensembles that I feel more interconnected between them in order to achieve great results. Sanders is a killer percussionist and he is risponsible of adding a lot of twisted rhythms to the musical compositions contained on this CD, while Wren adds a lot of bottom end and arrangements to the music. This is one of the best improvisational CDs I have ever heard.

Favorite tracks: "Game of Two halves"; "Rough Crossing" and "Blue Dark".
