His trumpet tone conveys a rounded luminescence, like the moon in full phase, and his technique is an astonishment of fluency.” – Nate Chinen, The New York Times On A Sun That Never Sets, Ralph Alessi expands the quartet configuration with a fifth player for a set of eleven new compositions that elaborate on Alessi’s intricate writing with deep thought and a fresh sense of adventure. The last time Alessi operated with a quintet was alongside saxophonist Ravi Coltrane in his This Against That ensemble, captured on 2019’s acclaimed Imaginary Friends, among several other recordings from that outfit. However instead of a saxophonist, this time the trumpeter’s brother Joseph Alessi comes into the fold and fortifies an already state-of-the-art group with inspired trombone lines in frequently electrifying interplay with Ralph. Pianist Matt Mitchell, John Hébert on double bass and Ches Smith on drums and vibraphone round out a band that navigates Alessi’s syncopated themes like a playground, finding new modes of expression for every turn. “In this band,“ Ralph says, “everybody's just so strong, and very little, if anything, ever has to be said – which is what I prefer.” The near-telepathic communication between the players is in evidence throughout – as haunting and meticulously phrased in the more subtle rubato elaborations (“Nothing Is Dead”, “Sweet Spot”, “Twichild”) as it is cunning and commanding in full-out romps (“Relaxed Misery”, “Of Trees”…).
