Short Tracks: Esthesis Quartet - Time Zones

Four stellar musicians living in four different time zones in the U.S. produced a robust and dynamic work in Time Zones. The all-female band shared and arranged this, their second album via Zoom and found time in between their roles as educators to record this album together in L.A. “Serial” smokes with a dynamic passion and flight of fancy drumming by Tina Raymond, and flute work by Elsa Nilsson. “Blue Light” shimmers thanks to pianist Dawn Clements’ terrific touch and bassist Emma Dayhuff’s feel. “Getting Through” the seventh and final song on the album only cements the feeling that the quartet held nothing back in the composing and playing of these compelling originals songs.
