The complex jazz fusion by The Number Pi is sharp, brazen and ironic. Their sound, which fills the entire spectrum of frequencies, reflects a desire to be noticed. Each of the band’s arrangements is a tour de force of power and well-pumped musical muscles. Their latest album, “Four Corners”, is a kaleidoscopic hodgepodge of sounds, timbres, rhythms, harmonies and influences. The Number Pi, being well aware of Czerny’s studies and Freud’s theories, are independent in their own right.
