Liner Note Author: Mike McGinnis . Recording information: Stoneway Studios, Astoria, NY (06/17/1999-08/11/1999). Photographer: Brian Drye. Michael McGinnis' 11 originals (which hold together well as a suite) blend together adventurous jazz improvising with touches of Irish music, rock, folk, and classical. "Arrival" has a spooky beginning with McGinnis' soprano being joined by eerie sounds by the rhythm section, eventually featuring some impressive interplay between the soprano and trumpeter Shane Endsley. Most of the other selections evolve unpredictably. "Indecision Insanity" (which has McGinnis sounding excellent on tenor) is worthy of Wynton and Branford Marsalis, "The Fiddletwins" has sections that sound like both Eastern European and Irish music, "No Ordinary Moments" is a thoughtful ballad for the leader's soprano, and "Fried" is intense and free. "M.D." features freebop solos, "The Cereal Aisle" is a complex piece with arranged sections, and "Finding the Balance" has particularly tricky written ensembles. Overall, this set is full of unpredictable moments and high-quality playing from the five talented players; it is well worth checking out. ~ Scott Yanow
