I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Breaking Through Gently, from Jim Witzel Quartet and it's light and springy. Opening with My Compass, Phil Aaron on piano lays a solid bed giving Jim Witzel a broad road to create the melody on guitar, backed by Dan Feiszli on bass and Jason Lewis on drums. Aaron's The Celebration has a joyous, almost spiritual, sound with lead shared between himself and Witzel. Fluid, lightly funky, lead on guitar and dazzling drum work by Lewis gives this track real spark. The Little Dragon is my favorite track on the release, with aggressive, driving lead by Witzel, punctuated by Aaron, a really strong piano interlude by Aaron and supported by perfect rhythm by Feiszli and Lewis. Excellent! Wrapping the release is title track, Breaking Through Gently, a sprite, guitar led fusion track with a solid melody, balanced by Aaron on piano. Very nice composition and solid closer.
