Elbow Room by Maddison Carter Quintet
The first release from the Maddison Carter Quintet, 'Elbow Room' teams Carter up with Eugene Ball, Theo Carbo, Joe O'Connor, and Tamara Murphy. Recorded in two days, 'Elbow Room' blurs lines between composition and improvisation, new music and jazz, possibilities of polytempi in highly indeterminate improvised music; and imbues an openness that allows these creative minds to run wild.
