Geometry of Distance is an album by cellist Tomeka Reid, vocalist Kyoko Kitamura, cornetist and trumpeter Taylor Ho Bynum, and guitarist Joe Morris.
[3][4] Writing for DownBeat, Aaron Cohen noted: "Every performer in Geometry has spent time receiving guidance from Anthony Braxton and, reflecting his approach, a subtle sense of exuberance underlies the quartet on its sophomore outing.
"[5] In a review for The New York City Jazz Record, Franz Matzner wrote: "This is music that submerges listeners rather than overpowers them... No one is bound to the traditional limits of their instruments, none are restricted by the dictates of time, harmony or conventional melody.
In turn, idiosyncratic Japanese vocalist Kyoko Kitamura and American cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum contribute well-adjusted lines, sometimes freely, sometimes embedding their sounds in the surroundings.
"[6] Writer Raul Da Gama noted: "The word 'geometry' in the title suggests (and ends up) providing a kind of ghostly structure to what might otherwise map an amorphous musical journey.
