Piano and saxophone duo Postmarks doodle and meander their way through 10 pieces inspired by US national parks and ‘their representation in iconic posters from the 1930s and 1940s’. Not quite jazz, but not quite abstract, their freeform compositions are hard to follow and far from accessible.
At times jarring, at others almost silent, they nevertheless manage at times to conjure rare atmosphere, niggling piano motifs, cool, smooth snaking sax breaks and unexpected climaxes. If you like your jazz vibes far out and experimental, chances are you’ll dig this scene, whether or not it evokes national parks.
