With Urban Crawl — the third album from the SLUGish Ensemble — composer, reeds player and bandleader Steven Lugerner turns his gaze to the horizon with tunes marked by lithe, flowing lines and lush textures. With a rarified sense of balance, Lugerner has embraced his namesake gastropod, creating beatific SLUGish soundscapes unlike any other denizen in the jazz kingdom. Urban Crawl offers a bracing antidote to despair, angst and ennui.
