Paul Lansky: Angles (VOL. 17) <br> BRIDGE 9532Paul Lansky's latest album brings together four virtuosic pieces, composed for widely varying ensembles. Four's Company for four guitars combines lyricism, rich harmony, and transparent textures. Angles for piano, violin and cello alternately dances and sings, and ends with a beautifully simple, sad song. Springs for four percussionists tears the roof off, and Color Codas for two pianos winds up the program with rollicking dance rhythms. Reviews:

a set of solo riffs featuring virtuosic playing on trumpet

The recording perfectly balances the need for a homogenous ensemble sound and that of hearing each individual voice

whether tiny and serene or big-boned and impassioned
