Abstract improvising led by Tsahar's sax, backed by a few stringed instruments. Comes across as a kind of avant-classical, but also displays the kind of free-jazz improv you'd expect from a sax-led group. Tracks 1 and 9 use the strings to particuarly good effect, and tracks like 7 get a stark emotion from them. 1- Slow sheen of saxophone and strings, a cinematic crawl 2- Clicky percussion, slow country fiddle. Later, groany abstract improv that gets fast and skittery near the end 3- Brash, mid/fast. Nice gutteral sax, bright. 4- Quiet ominous buzz, into long mournful tones 5- Slow and low (faux didjeridoo), gets groany and aggressive 6- Eerie small noises. Last 40 seconds VERY quiet. 7- Fast improv jumble, starts quiet and loudens up. Stark feel. 8- Tumbling ball of improv, fast and fun. 9- Slow. Long, searching sax tones. (Duke Ellington song) | ||
