“In the context of a modern jazz landscape increasingly defined by its willingness to journey far beyond the music’s roots, it’s always refreshing to encounter a straight-ahead recording that provides no fewer thrills and breathless excitement than its more experimental counterparts. This quartet session from saxophonist Jeremy Rose, pianist Steve Barry, bassist Noel Mason, and drummer Alex Hirlian keeps to a simple formula of vibrant melodies and a riveting conversationalist rhythmic style, and the arithmetic yields an exquisite gem. Most of the album tracks have an upbeat personality, but when the quartet gets moody on a track like “All About KB,” a certain charisma emerges that is undeniably magnetic. Face to Face is a nice window into the Sydney, Australia scene.”
