Arrival - Fire! Orchestra (2018)

Billed as an avant-garde supergroup, this outfit started as a trio and ballooned to over 24 musicians at one point before featuring only 14 on this record.

They take a mostly genre-free look at whatever seems to interest them, making modern compositions that occasionally bust out into free jazz nuttiness.

It never overwhelms and never feels indulgent. Quite a feat for music like this.

Tracks I Liked

Blue Crystal Fire - fuck, now i have to find the original by Robbie Basho to get on my inbox list.

Silver Trees - tamer and more beauty-focused than a lot of the material
