Music Review: Three stone jazz geniuses get together . . .
Rating: 5 Stars
. . . and create previously unheard but strangely familiar music.
Don't get me wrong: This is music entirely beyond the scope of normality. Yet it resonates with our deepest longings in such homely, even accessible, fashion, despite its surface weirdness, that it should (and one is tempted to say absolutely ought to be) heard by the widest possible audience.
Each of these remarkable players has a formidable, if somewhat abstruse, resume. They've played together and been recorded on three or four different occasions. They've been part of, together or separately, some of the most evocative exploratory jazz.
That they've come together in the early third millennium to record music of this consequence is not only unexpected but entirely serendipitous.
Yes, it's admittedly sometimes difficult to integrate the welter of sounds into a coherent aural palette, yet it's always worth the effort, at least in my opinion. Take, for example, the sonic rarity of "Dramaturns" near the end of its remarkable 18-plus minute excursion: We have lunatic piano juxtaposed against ethereal laptop then morphed into odd trombone voicings (laptop and trombone courtesy of the inimitable George Lewis) resolving into unexpected coherence. What to make of this seemingly bizarre aural nonsense save musical genius of the first water?
And again, check out the piano-percussion-laptop musical collage of "Soundhear" (weird song titles merely enhancing the inherent aural oddness), sounding like Gismonti/Vasconcelos on steroids filtered through some arcane yet friendly postmod Scelsi/John Adams sound design.
Look.
The gauntlet's thrown down. It will be interesting to see which avant-jazz warrior(s) will rise to the challenge.
