Sideways (ECM 2007)
Musicians:
Jacob Young - guitar
Mathias Eick - trumpet
Vidar Johansen - bass clarinet & tenorsax
Mats Eilertsen - double-bass
Jon Christensen - drums
The enigmatically beautiful Sideways is the second ECM release from Norwegian/American guitarist and composer Jacob Young. Sideways is remarkable in how its many layers interact to produce music that combines beauty and intellectual rigor. - Budd Kopman allaboutjazz
The inherent lyricism of Young's writing makes Sideways as elegantly accessible as Evening Falls, but with even greater expansiveness.
Young's very strength is his ability to compel and evoke in the most understated fashion. The beautifully spacious Sideways finds him comfortably evolving, bringing together his personal biculturalism with a musical cosmopolitanism that transcends any single stylistic authority. - John Kelman allaboutjazz
