Jazz guitarist and composer Tom Lippincott offers Ode to the Possible, a conceptual album that focuses on musical themes, portraying futuristic impressions and coursing improvised expeditions. The recording features Lippincott's original compositions with him performing on 8-string guitar and electronics, and joined by David Fernandez on tenor and soprano sax, Marty Quinn on bass, and Lucas Apostoleris on drums. Chilean guitarist and vocalist Camila Meza makes a guest appearance on "Zakir," a soothing ballad that emotes tranquility and reflection. Her chanting vocals infuse a spiritual quality in the arrangement, encircled by the balmy ripples of Fernandez's sax, causing the atmospheric tune to standout. Reverberating effects contour "Sisters and Brothers" with a soothing mist, as the lithesome strokes of Fernandez's sax caresses the melodic progressions. Lippincott's attention to poly-tones is prevalent in "Exit Strategy," as the music mirrors a duality between being buoyant and sprightly to being melancholic and solemn. The folksy texture of Lippincott's guitar strings scrolls contemplative ruminations along "Peace Rational," and shift to a looping of space age echoes across "Epilogue." Lippincott wrote "Lynchian" as an ode to filmmaker David Lynch, depicting Lynch's body of work as a panoply of erratic scenes, sometimes playful and often dissonant fraught with unexpected twists and turns that make an impact on the audience. Lippincott shares a kindred attachment to Lynch, exploring the spectrum of dissonance and harmony always present.
