Capricorn Climber is an album by Canadian jazz pianist Kris Davis, which was recorded in 2012 and released on the Portuguese Clean Feed label.[1]
In his review for AllMusic, Dave Lynch notes that, "even as the music lingers in a free rhythmic zone with fragmented, initially hesitant motifs, the sonic puzzle pieces fit together with a combination of improvisational looseness and the clear-cut intention of chamberesque modern composition, with nothing out of place."
The Down Beat review by Shaun Brady states, "The sound of the quintet conjures a chamber ensemble in a state of decay, their grace and elegance evident but their tensions being revealed in enlightening fashion."[2]
In a double review for JazzTimes Lloyd Sachs says, "The quintet alternates between wide tonal brush strokes and brisk melodies, free-floating effects and knotty inventions."[3]
