GA Russell Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 ECM has released an interesting album by a quintet I haven't heard of before led by guitarist Jacob Young called Sideways. Young plays both acoustic and electric guitar here. The electric sounds like a hollow body to me. I don't notice Young playing chords, only long lines of single notes, often in unison with the trumpet. The other instruments are trumpet, tenor sax (or bass clarinet), bass and drums. All of the songs are ballads, but the album swings more than the usual ECM does. It's an unusual sounding group. Quote
