Paul Dunmall New Quartet

Abstraction, with feeling. Saxophonist Paul Dunmall, a veteran experimental jazz musician, was feeling drawn to vitality. He wanted to organize a group of musicians that were driven by an underlying pulse and a central energy, beyond the abstract improvisations he had been familiar with for years. He had always appreciated jazz that had a driving, uplifting energy, and organized this quartet, inspired by these musicians’ previous improvisational performances. Alongside guitarist Steven Saunders, bassist Dave Kane, drummer Miles Levin, Dunmall produces an exuberant two-track, hour-long album, ‘World Without,' ranging from spontaneous crescendo to moments of quieter interlude.
