​Scott DuBois' MONSOON **** (4 stars)
“DuBois is a gifted young guitarist/ composer leading a quintet of like-minded contemporaries - Loren Stillman (soprano and alto), Jason Rigby (soprano and tenor), Thomas Morgan (bass) and Mark Ferber (drums) - on this engrossing, adventurous and original CD. The music, much of which uses vamps and odd metres, has an Indian feel, while the guitarist’s pieces possess a savoury linear distinction of their own. Saxophonist Dave Liebman replaces Rigby on four tracks, and it’s indicative of the quality of the others, especially Stillman and DuBois, that they stand the comparison so well, reconciling freedom with order and structure with surprise. And there’s a total sense of engagement about their work that makes these performances so compelling.”
