The Needless Kiss was the first CD by Phillip Johnston's Transparent Quartet, the drummerless quartet he formed in the late 1990s after leading The Microscopic Septet and Big Trouble. It was released in 1998 on Koch Jazz, but is now out-of-print, due to the corporate downsizing of that label. In addition to originals by Johnston and pianist Joe Ruddick, the group played distinctive arrangements of tunes by a variety of composers, for instance on this CD, Frederic Chopin & Raymond Scott.
From reviews of The Needless Kiss:
“Phillip Johnston is one of the most original and witty composers and bandleaders in jazz¬—as likely to give a sweet and heartfelt chamber jazz rendition of a Chopin mazurka as to one of Raymond Scott’s cartoon ditties.”
—The Boston Phoenix.
“The quartet members blend their disparate influences skillfully and their work, like Raymond Scott’s, abounds with eccentric humor and lyricism.”
—Harvey Pekar, Boston Herald.
“This odd, engaging, drummerless band mixes braininess with mirth—the longtime hallmarks of their leader, saxophonist Phillip Johnston.”
—Entertainment Weekly.
“The Needless Kiss, the latest recording by Johnston’s Transparent Quartet, is full of nineteen-fifties formalism (West Coast cool, Modern Jazz Quartet subtlety), which Johnston gleefully personalizes with sharp phrasings and free jazz tangents. It’s all held together by Johnston’s fine alto-saxophone work and superb soprano-saxophone playing, and by a drummerless unti that makes imaginative use of vibes, piano, baritone saxophone, and bass.”
—Steve Futterman, The New Yorker.
