Trevor Dunn's Trio-Convulsant is back for their second album, although with a completely different lineup (besides Dunn, of course). Adam Levy and Kenny Wollesen are gone, replaced by Mary Halvorson on guitar and Ches Smith on drums. The music they play is not so much a fusion of styles as it is a collision of styles. Almost straight-ahead jazz noodling gives way to hardcore blasts and crunching power chords, then completely devolves into Derek Bailey territory, but the band is always together. You can tell that some of it is quite composed, and that other sections are most likely entirely improvised. Dunn plays acoustic bass throughout ("Me Susurra un Secreto" is actually a bass solo), while Halvorson is all over the map sonically, switching between clean and distorted tones, chords, single-string runs, and extended techniques. She also judiciously uses some kind of delay or pitch-bending device to wonderful effect. The tunes are challenging but aren't difficult to listen to, and their cover of Duke Ellington's "The Single Petal of a Rose" (with guest harpist Shelley Burgon) is actually quite pretty. If you've been following Trevor Dunn's widely varied career as a player, you know he's got a sense of adventure, and Sister Phantom Owl Fish will not disappoint.

Trevor Dunn
Active Decades: '90s and '00s
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Avant-Garde Jazz, Experimental Rock, Free Jazz, Post-Rock/Experimental
Trevor Dunn is a bassist out of the San Francisco Bay Area, where he works with the best of the locale's creative improvisers and musicians such as Rova Saxophone Quartet, Mr. Bungle, clarinetist Ben Goldberg, and more. He has performed a variety of styles, with a background in punk and death metal, contemporary classical, blues, and jazz -- both standard and free. Dunn is co-founder and composer of the avant-rock band Mr. Bungle (with vocalist Mike Patton), which started in 1985. Through the '90s, Dunn has also been active, rock-wise, in the Secret Chiefs 3, a side project with two other Mr. Bungle members, which has released two CDs. In addition to playing in this group, Dunn is a member of the jazz outfits Graham Connah's Sour Note Seven, Junk Genius, and various Ben Goldberg groups. At the end of the '90s, Dunn was working on a new hardcore project called Fantomas with Patton, Slayer's Dave Lombardo, and Buzz Osbourne of the Melvins, and leading his own jazz group, Trio-Convulsant, whose first CD came out in 1999 on Buzz Records.
