A slice of absorbing pastoral yet ominously edgy chamber jazz in the oh so quiet but oh so listenable-to title track of clarinettist composer bandleader Rebecca Trescher's new album with the German's New Shapes quartet - guitarist Philipp Schiepek, double bassist Lukas Keller, drummer Jan Brill.

On the Enja/Yellowbird label album to be issued on 7 October Trescher's style here on a track clocking in at more than five minutes long is to strip away vibrato from her sound endowing it with a clean, direct projection the shape of the piece sufficient to allow plenty of space particularly for the double bass to roam.

The main theme is a legato line that shifts up modally. The underpinned harmony spreads out on bass. Brill sticks a lot to brushes. Guitar hints at flamenco early on. There is an interesting psychological edge to the atmosphere of the piece.

Trescher's sound doesn't compare directly to anyone apart from virtuosically certainly on a par even if the idiom is wildly different to the greatest contemporary jazz clarinettist on the planet that we know of - Anat Cohen - but is closer in spirit to the Cool School master Jimmy Giuffre.
