Our Take

Wolfgang Muthspiel, Scott Colley, and Brian Blade have joined forces to bring us "Dance of the Elders," a swirling, mesmerising album that transports listeners to a world of musical wonder. The trio's chemistry is undeniable, with Muthspiel's intricate guitar work blending seamlessly with Colley's pulsating bass lines and Blade's dynamic drumming.

From the lively opener "Twisted Blues" to the hauntingly beautiful title track, "Dance of the Elders" is a sonic journey like no other. The musicianship on display here is nothing short of exceptional, with each member of the trio shining in their own right while also coming together to create a cohesive and captivating sound.

Muthspiel's compositions are a perfect marriage of tradition and innovation, drawing on influences from jazz, folk, and classical music to create a truly unique listening experience. Colley's deep, resonant bass provides a solid foundation for the music, while Blade's nimble drumming adds an extra layer of intensity and dynamism.

Overall, "Dance of the Elders" is a masterclass in collaborative storytelling, with Muthspiel, Colley, and Blade expertly guiding listeners through a sonic landscape that is at once familiar and yet full of surprises. This album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates music that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant. Truly a tour de force from three of the most talented musicians in the industry today.
