KLANG: Other Doors Allos Documents, 2011 AVANT-JAZZ – Clarinetist James Falzone brings the music of Benny Goodman into an entirely new, strange universe with a retro/futuristic mix of reimagined favorites and original tunes. KLANG’s bright, sparkling sound incorporates touches of swing here and there, but they also spend a lot of time floating through mysterious, angular realms. All interesting. Fo’s Picks: 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 14 1. 2:10 – melodic solo clarinet, derived loosely from a standard 2. 2:44 – upbeat, shimmering swing twisted up, vibes & drums spin off axis 3. 3:57 – swing warped like a funhouse mirror; trombone & clarinet stroll 4. 3:43 – twisty clumps, silent breaks, a slow walk and a quick scramble 5. 5:58 – slow, enigmatic drift with hopscotch melody; cello adds to the fog 6. 3:38 – relaxed clarinet/bass swing, vibes try to slide it elsewhere 7. 4:12 – cool-cat walk, but spaces out into free improv for a while 8. 3:34 – slow and moody, seems to gaze into the far distance 9. 3:36 – rather creepy warped riff turns speedy, melts into shapeless lump 10. 4:31 – slinky back-alley creep: prominent bass, quirky vibes, cool clarinet 11. 5:18 – abstract clarinet/vibe intro; perky swing wanders off, cool bass solo 12. 5:07 – very slow, shrouded in mist; becomes a stately procession 13. 4:30 – slow angles, dives into raucous group improv over rolling rhythm 14. 3:44 – solo drum intro, then perky groove that drifts out and back 15. 2:26 – solo clarinet dances around the edges of standard [ Fo ] 05/08/11 | ||
