Album Review

Reviewed 2013-06-17
Jazz/free Jazz/fusion with some subtle electronics. From the notes: described by the Los Angeles Times as “bracing, electronically tweaked jazz.” The trio was born in Paris and resides in NYC. All tracks are good with interesting sounds. The name of the group comes from the abstract Russian painter.
***1: 6:24 mid to fast, Jazz/free Jazz/fusion/electronics. First half kind of mellow then squawking sax in the last part.
2: 4:00 mid tempo, sax wanderings, bass
3: 5:30 slow, dreamy sax
4: 4:50 slow intro then, mid to faster, locked drums highlighted, sax
5: 4:02 fast, big locked bass, wailing sax
6: 4:18 slow to mid, locked bass, sax
***7: 4:32 fast, big wall of sound, electronic effects
***8: 3:05 mid tempo, big bass, sax
9: 4:23 mid to faster, electronics emphasized last half
10: 3:29 slow, start/stop sax wanderings
11: 4:33 fast percussion intro. then dreamy sax with warp speed drum kit
