Cadence Magazine reviews GREAT ON PAPER

"Great On Paper brings to mind some of the spareness that is often associated with Nordic jazz."

A group [Robin Baytas-drm, Kevin Sun-ts, Isaac Wilson- p, Simón Willson-b] calling itself GREAT ON PAPER [ Endectomorph Music 888295 379854], has issued a CD by the same name, recorded 3/7/15. This short [36:26] CD, tentatively led (I think) by Sun, covers a variety of originals and non-originals [I Hear A Rhapsody, O Sacrum Convivium] for a total of 6 tunes. While this is a short recording it offers lots to pay attention to. Great On Paper brings to mind some of the spareness that is often associated with Nordic jazz. There is also an element of late ‘40s Monk, at times of breathing inward while at times they seem intent on stretching a sound just short of silence. They really sound quite original with just a touch of Ran Blake obstinance. Solos are carefully crafted and thought out without sounding forced or pretentious. This CD doesn’t offer an easy listen on familiar terms but like it or leave it, this offers an original approach and interpretations.
