\nPick of the Week: This is a remarkable album and a rare event in that we hardly ever see a debut recording… The interplay between musicians can be so beautifully layered one doesn\u2019t know what to listen to first. The playing itself is truly experimental as Shot x Shot doesn\u2019t fall into any of the neatly organized categories for modern jazz. Part of the reason is that it doesn\u2019t follow closely to a particular aesthetic. Shot x Shot\u2019s emphasis on ambiance and texture draws it closer to post-rock while its instrumentation and emphasis on improvisation puts it squarely in the jazz\/free improv camp… Shot x Shot\u2019s debut represents a meaningful step forward in jazz\u2019s evolution. <\/span><\/p>\n
