MARK ALBAN LOTZ / LOTZ OF MUSIC: Pum’kin Diaries
LopLop, 2011

AVANT/MODERN JAZZ – Another winning session from Lotz, a quirky Dutch flutist who likes to incorporate plastic, rubber and glass sounds into his music. Lotz’s flute work is bright and agile, twisting energetically over the band’s varied, cool-toned but always adventurous settings, from bop to enigmatic abstraction. Good, creative stuff.

Fo’s Picks: 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11

1. 1:41 – gently floating tone poem, descends and rises
2. 4:34 – deep PVC-pipe flute sets up a lightly jabbing and very rhythmic tune
3. 4:00 – improvisational: quietly scattered, with bouts of happy confusion
4. 4:12 – low, softly padding, mysterious: piano dances around sinuous flute
5. 3:30 – stripped-down bebop classic, full of odd angles and intersecting lines
6. 4:07 – a visit to fairyland: strange flashing dewdrops and a pastoral melody
7. 9:53 – rain, sounds from a Pygmy village, and a slow, brooding tone poem
8. 6:08 – bossanova ballad, stretched across a large canvas: lovely solos
9. 3:15 – upbeat boppin’ Ornette Coleman tune; piano/flute spar with rhythm
10. 5:53 – ponderous impressionism, drifts into intriguingly abstract textures
11. 4:23 – upbeat bop stroll, spare but swinging; flute and piano fly merrily
12. 4:08 – Bob Dylan cover! light march, warm and uplifting
