Paul Dietrich”s fifth album as a leader, ”A Small Patch of Earth,” marks a shift from his recent large-ensemble projects (2019”s ”Forward,” an 18-piece big band, and 2023”s ”5+4,” for a nine-piece group) to a more intimate and folk-inspired sound. Emphasizing simplicity, interaction, and improvisation, the album draws inspiration from nature and was recorded in the open space of a concert hall, inviting listeners to pause and take a deep breath.
