If one were to reference the Le Boeuf Brothers previous recordings for what to expect from their latest effort with the JACK Quartet, Imaginist, they might indeed find a pattern of fine musicianship and compositional ability that would not mislead. But clear evidence would also be shown of the Le Boeuf's tendencies toward eclecticism and unpredictability. To the musical centerpiece of the album, a six-part suite entitled "A Dream," they incorporate a spoken-word narrative (from the Kafka short story of the same name). For some classical listeners, this may evoke Copland's "Lincoln Portrait" or even Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf," but the choice of Kafka with the LeBoeuf/JACK hybrid underlying it is undeniably bold and at times, even unsettling. There are undoubtedly those who will initially be put off this -those who would perhaps wish there to be music, sans narration.
