Toronto saxophonist-composer Quinsin Nachoff’s Magic Numbers, several years in the making, combines the sax trio tradition of freewheeling improvisation and the discipline of a classical string quartet into an original aesthetic. The arrangements on this 2006 album are often complex, the strings elegantly weaving together the music’s forms and textures in sometimes unexpected ways. Nachoff says he was seeking a diplomatic blend of musical genres and styles which would nevertheless maintain the essence of melody and beauty.
