Little Bluedevil, the second suite in bassist/composer Bill Noertker's Blue Rider series, takes us on a musical journey into abstraction, reflection, and enchantment. The Blue Rider group of painters (Kandinsky, Marc, Klee) is Noertker's inspiration here. From the trance-inducing sax swirls of "White Line" to the robust sax/piano swing of "Tightrope Walker," from the angular and chromatic tonal diffusion of "Chinese Poetry" to the delicate flute/oboe lattice work of "Cats on a Red Cloth," from the soaring flute trio of "Gazelles" to the stately bass/oboe duet of "Tower of Blue Horses," the musicians of Noertker's Moxie use their rich sonic palette, and their moxie, to create a diverse and vibrant array of aural paintings.

Annelise Zamula - tenor saxophone and flute
