Our Take

Quinsin Nachoff's latest offering, "FLUX: Path Of Totality," is a sonic journey that will leave you spinning faster than a vinyl record on a turntable. The Canadian composer and saxophonist has created an album that defies convention and pushes the boundaries of modern jazz.

From the opening track, "Ecliptic," Nachoff grabs your attention with his intricate compositions and relentless energy. The album is a rollercoaster of emotions, from the frenetic intensity of "Quantum Entanglement" to the haunting beauty of "Dark Matter."

Nachoff's collaboration with the Flux Quartet adds a layer of complexity to the album, with their string arrangements weaving in and out of his saxophone melodies. The result is a rich tapestry of sound that is both captivating and challenging.

"FLUX: Path Of Totality" is not for the faint-hearted. Nachoff's avant-garde approach to jazz may alienate some listeners, but for those willing to take the plunge, the rewards are plentiful. This is music that demands your attention and refuses to be background noise.

In a music scene that can sometimes feel stale and predictable, Quinsin Nachoff is a breath of fresh air. "FLUX: Path Of Totality" is a bold statement from an artist at the height of his powers, and a reminder of the endless possibilities of jazz music. This is an album that will leave you exhilarated, exhausted, and wanting more.
