"... an adventurous statement from a leading pianist and composer in the alternative jazz area ... shows how a seemingly classically-oriented chamber ensemble can blend in jazz and blues elements of creative improvisation and come up with new expressive possibilities ..."
- Audiophile Audition
"... proves the quartet is as capable of expressing the subtle joys of a simple melody as it is navigating the intricate counterpoint and dramatic shifts in mood of the title track. Like a rainy day punctuated by clear skies and brief rays of sunshine, One Dance Alone presents Horvitz's contemplative writing in a unique instrumental context."
- All About Jazz
Bringing together four uniquely defined voices of new music, jazz and improvised composition, Wayne Horvitz's Gravitas Quartet explores the depths of texture, sonority, rhythm and ensemble fluidity available to masters with a broad palette. Some of the compositions on this 2008 release sound like classical chamber music, but improvisation plays a major role and there’s a lot of synergy in the way the music comes together. Horvitz's piano runs, motifs and clusters suggest links to impressionism and occasionally to atonality.
