It somehow recalls the wonder of 12' vinyl discoveries of the '70s - that time of poring over luxurious gatefold album sleeves; yet Figes' writing sparkles brightly in today's musical landscape. There is so much to enthuse about here, from the swinging, melodic, double-sax immediacy of Empathy, and Birdsong's improvised vocal and instrumental chattering, to the sublime, often spacial beauty of Fall Apart; and alto\/tenor\/trumpet Horn Improvisation's invention compellingly bridges contemporary classical and jazz. Figes is a consummate saxophonist, his excursions both eloquent and endlessly imaginative; but his delicate mastery of the flute in quartet piece For Cathy is at least as effective as it charmingly weaves around piano ostinati and subtle bass and drums.' - AP Reviews\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSketches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHorn Improvisation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLargo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmpathy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Cathy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBirdsong\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFall Apart\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeather Warning\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54421382660481,"sku":"1969828","price":14.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5024545744521.jpg?v=1750649593","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1969828","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
