Robert Middleton There are very good jazz albums, there are great jazz albums and there are jazz masterpieces. Auteur is one of the latter. Saxophonist, Amanda Gardier, supported by her guitar-genius husband, Charlie Ballantine, confidently, emotionally, and brilliantly present a cinematic, multi-textured song-cycle inspired by the films of Wes Anderson. It’s glorious in its playing, compositions and the extraordinary interaction of the band. This is as thrilling as jazz gets.
