On Francesca, veteran reedman David Murray revisits the classic jazz quartet
format which figures so conspicuously in his discography. It represents the
debut of a band of younger talent comprising already established leaders in
their own right: bassist Luke Stewart (Irreversible Entanglements, jaimie

Struggle outfit). Although Murray’s ascent to prominence began in the ferment
of Lower East Side lofts, he soon revealed a deep appreciation of the
tradition. Traces of both can be discerned in his rendition of the eight pieces
here, although he leans heavily towards the latter, only mildly pushing the
boundaries albeit without ever compromising direct communication and
accessibility. [...]
