Music reviews of Reese & The Smooth One

Music Review: Improvisational genius
Rating: 5 Stars

The Art Ensemble are some of the most versatile, creative, and skilled improvisors in any idiom, and this is one of thier finest displays of on-the-spot brilliance. Whether they're dropping funky melodies, letting reeds careen over immersive percussion, or confronting you with shredding noise guitar (yes, this really happens for a few seconds!), this album is constantly engaging, immediate, and even accessible. Following this extended piece is no problem -- it's much less daunting than, say, a Peter Brotzmann Tentet session, or even a Cecil Taylor composition. Lovers of improv, the jazz avant garde, and vibrant, fun genre-swapping music owe it to themselves to check this out. Some of the Art Ensemble's best early work.
