Susan Alcorn Quintet - Pedernal CD RSD2019 let me tell you whatPedernal opens with Alcorns graceful pedal steel line suggesting a dark, minor blues thats joined in an undulating caress by Formaneks lithe bass. Descending chords introduce the second section as the band steps into the gathering maelstrom, eventually resolving into a beatifically lyrical theme that seems to summon the abiding power of the iconic vista.
