Schon bei dem Vorgängeralbum von 2012, einer Hommage an Paul Motian, griff der in New York lebende Gitarrist Joel Harrison auf üppige Streicherarrangements zurück. Diese kommen auf "Search" in reduzierter Form (Christian Howes, Violine, und Dana Leong, Cello) wieder vor. Ansonsten wird der flächigraumgreifende und durch bluesige Melodielinien markante Sound von Harrisons Formation maßgeblich vom Tenorsaxofonisten Donny McCaslin und Gary Versace an Klavier und Hammond B3 bestimmt. Die Rhythmusgruppe stellen Stephan Crump (Bass) und Clarence Penn (Schlagzeug). "Mit diesem Projekt wollte ich, was das Kompositorische anbelangt, mir selbst eine Herausforderung stellen", so Harrison. "Ich versuchte, erweiterte Formen und neue Techniken auszuprobieren, ohne die Spontaneität zu opfern. Eine knifflige Balance."

Challenges are met in many different circumstances throughout life. There are challenges that we choose and those that we must face. Guitarist / composer Joel Harrison examines both on his new CD Search (Sunnyside, Mar. 27, 2012). On this project, Harrison chose to broaden his compositional scope to include a more classical influence, most notably by scoring strings into his arrangements. The all-star ensemble performs a moving program of original compositions along with a couple of remarkable arrangements of Olivier Messaien and The Allman Brothers Band
