This is not the type of instrumental album that you can play as background music. The overall tone and emotion given off by Turner and Rosenwinkel’s complex improvisations to the casual listener is one of tension, almost panic. Just as the music is layered, so is the inherent emotion and attitude. A certain level of effort is required to understand the feeling behind each song, but the outcome is rewarded and fans of contemporary jazz will enjoy this album.

The governments of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and President Pervez Musharraf squared off over the activities of two Kashmir separatist groups, Lashkar-e-Tayyab and Jaish-e-Mohammed. India accused the Islamic rebel groups of responsibility for the attack and demanded that Pakistan shut them down. After both countries began massing troops along...
