Moments Worth Listening For

The haunting entry of Ornette Coleman's saxophone on the opening track, cutting through the smoky piano like a jagged memory.

The rhythmic shift into a stiff, elegant tango on 'Stop' that feels both seductive and deeply lonely.

The sprawling fourteen-minute finale where the music dissolves into a reprise that feels like a ghost leaving a room.
