One of the most outstanding albums of the year to date and Mark Turner's finest album in a distinguished discography. What energy in the chasing momentum developed with trumpeter Jason Palmer there is. And present and correct too is the sheer gravity developed between them in the rapport of bassist Joe Martin and relative newcomer Jonathan Pinson. Return From The Stars is also a terrific example of how acoustic jazz can still be relevant in an age when electronic textures often call the shots. Each track has a lot to say, there are no short cuts and you get a sense of weighty endeavour without any sense of pomposity or verbose statement at any stage.
