Free-jazz quartet with lots of dynamic group action. Piano and sax keep even the most chaotic pieces rooted in jazz, while the bass and drums often produce a jerky-stacatto non-rhythm. Overall mood is upbeat and a little playful -- these guys seem like they're having fun. Most tracks slip into a bubbly jam when all four members play; the two 10-minute pieces (6, 11) also provide space for each member to solo unaccompanied. Tracks are consistently good; play them all. 1- Stumbly, halting flow 2- Quiet plinking. Gets louder and dark 3- Percussive popping, a really neat sound. 4- Relatively lyrical sax melody 5- Grooving. Starts with long tones over soft piano-drum patter. 6- Agile unaccompanied solos in succession. Some nice playing here. 7- Fast rumble. Hits a furious peak in the middle. 8- Like 4, a lyrical sax melody 9- Scattered and intense 10- Light and calm, but fairly fast 11- Calm and studious, with energetic solos 12- Fast sparse knots. Playful and a bit goofy. 13- Series of tumbling statements 14- Quiet, thoughtful. High squeaking near the end. 15- Catchy mid/fast riff on prepared piano | ||
