Listener Reviews & Comments
See the sharp Amazon reviews for Gress' previous disc with this group, 7 Black Butterflies, all of which apply here as well. Same lineup, same great production by David Torn, same moody, intellectual without being too eggheady Gress writing. Someone compared Gress to Mingus in a Butterflies review, and on the face of it that may seem quite a stretch, but the more I listen to these two records, the more persuasive it becomes. And as the All Music Guide reviewer says about Numbers on iTunes, "instruments may collide harshly, but they never fail to kiss and make up." It's more like they're having great sex. This is one of the best bands around. You'd expect nothing less from a quintet that includes Berne, Taborn and Rainey, who slay as a trio on Berne's Shell Game (can't recommend this enough), but the lesser-known Ralph Alessi's trumpet is equally fine.
