Meanwhile, Cartwright’s braying trills on that tune and jocular excursions on “Sensible Shoes/Proper Fit”, where he remain just slightly off tempo from the rest of the band, appear to be the last remaining hurrahs of a former New York alternative music denizen.
Cartwright’s squeaks and trills and Thomas’ comping seem to merely lengthen the tune toward lugubriousness.
Tenor and alto saxophonist George Cartwright, who still leads the band today, and the late cellist Tom Cora (1953-1998), who later moved to Europe and collaborations with vocalist Catherine Jauniaux, are the only constants.

 The Canadian Imprint of George Cartwright's "Labrador" — a Bibliographical Ghost
Cartwright was not satisfied with it, and before he sent the journal itself to the press several years later, he revised the poem extensively, reordering the material, rephrasing whole sections, correcting printing errors, moving his explanatory notes from the end to the foot of the page, and carefully marking the transitions between poetic “paragraphs”.
Cartwright’s poetic hints for hunters and fishermen hark back to numerous English poems devoted to such procedures as the planting of crops, the tending of sheep, the draining of marshes, and the shaping of the landscape.
Cartwright presents the Labrador landscape not as a romantic setting for reflection but as a playground for the hunter and a rich source of commercial treasures for the entrepreneur.

 Andrew Broder & George Cartwright + Black Ants Crawling : George Cartwright : CD Reviews : One Final Note   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The relocation of saxophonist George Cartwright, best known in the national arena for his work with the cutting edge jazz-rock group Curlew, to the Cities in 1999 has proven to be a major factor in coalescing some of the area's disparate elements into something resembling a "scene".
Cartwright's enthusiasm for collaborations both conventional and unusual has brought him to a variety of ends in a mere five years, ranging from slightly skewed jazz and chamber-oriented work with local legend Carei Thomas to the traditional free jazz played by his working trio GloryLand PonyCat.
It's also Cartwright's contributions that put a subtle spin on a set that might otherwise fall under the rubric of electro-acoustic improv; as is, the duo sounds poised on the brink of two distinct traditions (beat-oriented electro-jazz and eai), but mining that indeterminacy might be exactly the approach they need to take.

 George Cartwright | The Memphis Years
Born and reared in blues-orientated Mississippi, Cartwright went on to study with the likes of notable modern jazz icons such as, Anthony Braxton, Oliver Lake, Wadada Leo Smith and others while subsequently reeking havoc on the New York Downtown scene by forming the jazz/prog-rock/improvising band, “Curlew”.
On this recording, Cartwright garners support from longtime collaborators, lyricist Paul Haines, and vocalist Amy Denio as the overall results prove to be curiously stimulating and a bit abstract yet altogether foot-stomping and gregariously festive!
George Cartwright succeeds where many others have failed as this ever-inventive and witty composer/musician once again enlivens his personalized view of musical matters, which more than likely culminates from an adventuresome past, yet Cartwright continues to astound!

Deep, husky, sonic vapors rise from the tenor of George Cartwright as he connects with bassist Adam Linz and drummer Alden Ikeda for an extended romp into the unbridled world of free improvisation.
Cartwright suggests the strange presence of warmth through his full and robust tonality; he lassoes a surging bull and purposefully proceeds to lay down an ultra-plush carpet of sound having a meaty core; yet, his fiery expulsions project the semblance of melodiousness devoid of cacophony often heard from liberated saxophone players.
Cartwright goes off on one tangent, and Linz steers in a totally different direction at a contrasting pace, yet the two sounds meld precisely as a combined force

George Cartwright, born in the eighteenth-century into the gentry of Nottinghamshire, is described by historians as a "soldier, diarist, entrepreneur." His greatest legacy is the place in Labrador named after him and the journal he wrote during his years there, when he lived among the Inuit and ran a trading post.
In The Afterlife of George Cartwright, he emerges as a restless, renegade soul, monstrously ambitious on the one hand, a man who lived to hunt and kill, yet also compellingly human.
Through the lens of John Steffler's vivid narrative, time and memory are fragmented into a kaleidoscope of events as Cartwright's spirit, alive after death, rides his ghostly horse on hawking expeditions across the fields and motorways of modern England.
