Search - Molly Flannery Quintet :: Slow Dance at the Asylum

The compellingly beautiful music on "Slow Dance at the Asylum" transcends the boundaries of jazz, classical and new age music. At times the listener feels ecstatically uplifted, at other times mesmerized by the interlacing rhythms and lines. Moreover, the moods evoked by shaking goat toe nails, playing a Jew's harp, and blowing through whirling tubes transport the listener beyond the usual realm of the jazz quintet. You travel through churning oceans to seductive islands and beyond the stars. This album is a harbinger of a promising new direction for jazz -- sophisticated, adventurous, and profound.
