Celebrating their 30th anniversary, the Prism Quartet delivers a groundbreaking and eclectic journey with "People's Emergency Center." This 2014 release, spanning 12 tracks and 88 minutes, showcases the quartet's versatility and innovation, blending classical roots with contemporary styles. The album begins with the three-part "Under the Sun" suite, each movement offering a unique exploration of sound and texture. The quartet then shifts gears dramatically with the funk-infused "People's Emergency Center" and "Gymnopedie," highlighting their ability to traverse diverse musical landscapes. The album also features the introspective "Serial Mood" and the hauntingly beautiful "Brown Eyes," demonstrating the Prism Quartet's depth and range. With Timothy McAllister, Taimur Sullivan, Zachary Shemon, and Gregory Rados on saxophones, and special guest Tim Ries on soprano saxophone, this album is a testament to the quartet's enduring artistry and their commitment to pushing musical boundaries.
