For those not in the know, the Rich Halley 4 is composed of Rich Halley, tenor sax; Michael Vlatkovich, trombone; Clyde Reed, bass; and Carson Halley, drums.

This group explores new musical spaces and approaches using the roots of American and world music as sources with an emphasis on spontaneous and compositional group improvisation.

Rich has been working with Michael, Clyde and Carson in various combinations for more than a decade and now they have grouped together once again to being us this brand new recording entitled Dusk And Dawn.

1. Spherical Aberration
2. The Return
3. Retrograde
4. After Dawn
5. Splatter
6. Stretching the Sinews
7. The Hard Truth

This expertly crafted new album opens on the melodically jaunty Spherical Aberration and then brings us the rhythmically flirtatious The Return, the veritably shapeshifting Retrograde, and then we get the languishing After Dawn, the organically perky Splatter, the album rounding out on the forthrightly sculpted Stretching the Sinews, closing on the ’70s New York scene-imbued The Hard Truth.
