NOCTURNE

Not a bad Jazz/ Fusion album from this quartet out of Raleigh, North Carolina. Violin, Chapman Stick, drums and guitar create a little bit different sound but to be honest this is very much violin driven all the way and kind of samey. The lack of electric bass takes away some depth here as it does come across a bit lightweight overall. No keyboards either that could provide some atmosphere. Produced by the band but this was mastered by Bob Katz at least. A far cry though from "Red" era KING CRIMSON or MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA as advertised and I mean far. Worth checking out only if your a huge violin fan in my opinion.
