MARK TURNER - RETURN FROM THE STARS

  • mark turner: return from the stars
        (2022, cd, --, ecm)
The title from Mark Turner's "Return From The Stars" album was taken from a science fiction novel.
And to be honest, with a title like that, expectations are high.

The recording features Mark Turner (tenor sax), Jason Palmer (trumpet), Joe Martin (bass), and Jonathan Pinson (drums).
On this occasion, the 'stars' do not refer to the free jazz or psychedelic approach that has been thoroughly investigated by various musicians, but rather to the 'no boundaries in improvisation' and 'lots of room and space in the compositions'. At least, that's what my ears suggest.

March 30, 2024, the Mark Turner Quartet will be performing at De Bijloke in Ghent, BE.
Just in case that you would be in the neighborhood.

Beautiful.

Not that far away in the future :
Slovenia, Portugal, Germany and France
