This intriguing set features nine originals by pianist
Harold Danko, all of which have something to do with his impressions of night. The titles -- which include "Night Space," "Fourth Hour," "Insomnique," and "Times' Irony" -- are often quite impressionistic and melancholy, floating along as if in a dreamlike state, although sometimes displaying bits of explosive fire.
Danko is joined by tenor saxophonist
Rich Perry (a highly underrated and talented player), bassist
Scott Colley, and drummer Jeff Hirshfield for the program, which grows in interest (due to its often eerie moods) with each listen. ~ Scott Yanow
