This is the new album by Devon-based saxophonist Pete Canter’s Bristol-based quartet. The band is musically located between the early-1960s modal Coltrane and latin jazz periods while mixing it up with influences from earlier swing. Canter transfers his smoky, slightly mournful, vocalised tenor sound seamlessly onto the soprano through a set of originals, a couple of them coming from Canter’s suite ‘Sketches’ that he performed at the 2010 Vibraphonic Festival in Exeter. Canter comes across well as a low-key yet expressive soloist, Bobby Wellins-ish at times. Pianist Jim Blomfield wears his McCoy Tyner and Oscar Peterson influences on his sleeve while the rhythm section lends some generous understated support. This isn’t a straightahead burn by any means, but the band’s warm, lyrical sound has an edge to it.
