Bruce Eisenbeil Sextet - Inner Constellation Volume One

Review by Juan J.

The Bruce Eisenbeil Sextet's album Inner Constellation Volume One is a masterpiece of modern jazz. The sextet features Bruce Eisenbeil on guitar, Tom Blancarte on bass, Andrew Drury on drums, Nate Wooley on trumpet, Aaron Ali Shaikh on alto saxophone, and Matt Bauder on tenor saxophone. Together, they create a unique and compelling sound that is both complex and accessible.

The album's opener, "The Mystic and the Machine," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its intricate rhythms and soaring melodies. "The Oracle of Ogun" features a haunting trumpet solo by Nate Wooley, while "The Celestial Sphere" showcases the sextet's ability to create a sense of space and atmosphere through their music.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Alchemist's Dream," which features a stunning guitar solo by Bruce Eisenbeil. The track builds slowly, with each member of the sextet adding their own unique contribution to the overall sound.

Summary by Juan J.

Inner Constellation Volume One is a must-listen for fans of modern jazz. The Bruce Eisenbeil Sextet has created a cohesive and powerful album that showcases their individual talents while also highlighting their ability to work together as a group. Highly recommended.
