Liner notes for Mineral Mind scheduled for release in Jan 2010 written by Bill Milkowski:
A powerhouse player, tenor saxophonist Igor Lumpert has made a strong impression on the New York jazz scene since arriving in town from his native Slovenia in 2000. As a followup to his auspicious debut, 2001’s Innertextures (with pianist Robert Glasper, bassist Boris Kozlov and drummer Jonathan Blake), the 34-year-old tenor player showcases his robust sound and bold instincts in the company of keyboardist Sam Barsh, bassist Matt Brewer and drummer Jamire Williams on Mineral Mind. Together they exhibit an intimate, immediate chemistry on seven Lumpert originals, performed in a four-hour burst of intensive focus and purely organic flow. From the torrid opener, “Minerali” to the sublime “Peace for Children” to the blazing hard boppish closer “1999,” Lumpert acquits himself with a combination of chops, risk-taking and grace on his sophomore outing. And his stellar crew rises to the occasion collectively, helping the composer to realize his intricate, time-shifting pieces with clarity and rare precision...
