Baker's Brew - Return

Grotesqualizer

Accomplished drum master Maury Baker’s quartet has prepared new material called “New Works.”

The composition “Return,” representing the album, is peculiar ECM jazz with big leaps to impressionism and other Western classical music. Forming a field for otherworldly fantasies, the deep double bass lies in wait for the soft, laconic piano, while the drum part spreads nearby, and the slightly muffled snare drum becomes an excellent atmospheric find. You’re like a feather in the wind of a lucid dream, and it seems that Baker's Brew's music is about to flow away towards spiritual jazz, but after the third minute, it moves to dark corners, becoming almost a surreal mystery with a touch of Scriabin or Messiaen. Baker's Brew is adept at introducing little-known, picturesque sound spaces to the listener.
