mufaor Reviewed 2007-02-12 | ||
Free jazz quintet. Lots of squirreling, breath sounds, and sucking sounds from Braxton. Great responsive drumming from Robair. The ensemble as a whole is responsive and together. Tracks 2-5 have an intro that starts with fast-moving blocked chords which gradually get out of synch, and track 6 is that theme done slow and soft. 1. Slow-chittery and avant 2. Dense squirreling, both chaotic and subdued. 3. More soloing than track 2, more chill and quiet, but tense, introspective. Cool scratchy/creaky section at about 4 minutes left. *4. Mostly in duos and trios, squirrelly percussion. Very slowly builds in volume and density to about half through, then some very sparse moments. The most diverse track. *5. Intro to mello sax and bass duet, closest thing to traditional jazz lines here. Other players join, great soft percussion. 6. The blocked chord theme done slow and soft. |
