Eclectic jazz record. The opening track embodies this eclecticism-- it begins as a mournful horn piece, but morphs into a klezmer trade-off section and then a thrash metal guitar solo. Elsewhere, the title track is a total riot featuring a John Zorn alto sax solo, "Good-Bye for Jetzt" and "Pure As a Teardrop" are slower, contemplative pieces (the latter includes vocals), and "Sit Down" is jazz-rock with an abrasive, atonal guitar solo. The closer, "Guitar," is the only letdown. The rest of the songs work, and the record doesn't overstay its welcome. For the Moment is a fantastic album.
