A Few Dozen finds guitarist Bruce Arnold adapting serialist 
and twelve-tone concepts to jazz composition and improvisation. 
Joined by bassist Ratzo Harris and drummer Tony Moreno, Arnold comes 
up with a heady brew that defies easy categorization. There's an 
angular edge to much of the material, especially the title track and 
the multilayered "Dialog." But the tempos and moods do vary - witness 
the latin bounce of "Broadway Y2K," the brooding slowness of 
"Numbers," and the singable beauty of "Reflection." Arnold shows that 
twelve-tone techniques needn't be stiff, strident, or opaque; they 
can even yield a lovely ballad. And their formal strictures can lend 
melodic shape and focus to a solo, as Arnold also repeatedly proves.
