about

“Too Close To The Pole” was the final Weather Clear, Track Fast recording and in it Previte went even further along a choral/African direction, assembling a completely different band of musicians, at that time very new to the New York scene, but who quickly became indispensable to it—musicians like. The CD, recorded in Germany, was released in 1996, and is the culmination of his writing with that orchestration. Previte has not written for a large front line since.

The New York Times—"His pieces slowly and carefully make their way to an incantory place where jubilation reigns.”

The New Yorker— "His ensemble speaks in visionary tongues."
