The compositional projects of Ways Out clearly indicate a leaning towards what we might call “mobile forms”, with the accent on the timbres, as they play the hybrid card by mixing acoustic and electric sounds with a constant underlying rhythmic tension, whose energy and groove come as much from modern jazz as rock. The link between the sophisticated idiom of the most contemporary New York post-jazz in its relationship to space and the closeness of the group is the soaring lyricism of the 70’s-type prog-rock and the rich melodic lushness of its own universe, with its unerring blend of sensuality and abstraction. An ambitious project overall, where Claude Tchamitchian injects some dynamite into the instrumental groupings traditionally associated with the jazz quartet, so as to open up new horizons both for himself and the other members of the group.
