Adventurous and accessible free-jazz trio of sax, bass, and drums, a local group led by ex-Chicagoite Aram Shelton. Melodic work with loose structures (i.e. lots of space for soloing). 1- An upbeat melody (maybe borrowing from Ayler a bit?) with some aggressive drumming. Sunny disposition overall but gets ferocious. 2- A brisk, soulful melody, played with breezy energy. 3- Relaxed bass clarinet melody. Starts with a patient, spacious drum solo. 4- Midtempo to slow, ambling 5- Fast, tricky bass clarinet work. Slow, quiet opening. 6- Pensive but rather tough opening, a nice bass solo, and then a choppy aggressive attack. Ends calmly. | ||
