When three veterans of the avant-jazz scene meet for a fully improvised performance, you know that sparkles will fly, as they do on this album. The trio is Mark Dresser on bass, Larry Ochs on tenor and sopranino, and Vladimir Tarasov on percussion. The album brings two sessions together : one at the Bimhuis in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and the other in St. Petersburg, Russia, both with a few days difference in June 2008.
The music is, as you can imagine, very much an open exploration of sounds and intensity, with long sequences of short bursts and meandering phrases, all at a level above repetitiveness, in the somewhat raw and abstract regions of music, but full of soul at the same time. There are moments on the album when the mind starts wandering, because at times the music all very much within an identical range of action (but then I'm also tired and that may be the reason), and yet, then you get this piercing bow from Dresser or this yearning tonal bend from Ochs, or a sharp rim-shot from Tarasov, and you're back in the game. And that game is playful, evolving, ever-changing in its color and emotional load. Listen for instance on the clip below, how the music changes from a vertical sense of agitated nervousness (the beginning), over distress (as of the fourth minute), to sensitive sadness (around the fifth minute), and ending in resignation. True, it is sound exploration, but more than that. For these three musicians it is all about exploring emotions first and foremost.
Mark Dresser (b. 1952 in Los Angeles) is an American virtuoso double bass player and composer. He has performed and recorded with many of the luminaries of new jazz composition and improvisation. For ten years he performed with the Anthony Braxton Quartet, as well as diverse groups led by Ray Anderson, Tim Berne, Anthony Davis, Gerry Hemingway, John Zorn, and others. He has made over sixty recordings.
Larry Ochs (b. 1949, New York City) is an American jazz saxophonist and composer.
Ochs studied trumpet briefly but concentrated on tenor and sopranino saxophones. He co-founded the Rova Saxophone Quartet, and also worked in Glenn Spearman's Double Trio. A frequent recipient of commissions, he composed the music for the play Goya's L.A. by Leslie Scalapino in 1994 and for Letters Not About Love, which was named best documentary film at SXSW (South by Southwest Festival) in 1998. He has also played in a new music trio called Room and the What We Live ensemble. He has recorded several albums as a leader.
Vladimir Tarasov (b. 1947 in Archangelsk, North Russia) is a Lithuanian jazz drummer and percussionist. For many years he has been a soloist for the Vilnius State Philharmonic. Tarasov has taken part in over 50 music projects, all of which are either LP or CD releases. From 1971 to 1986 he was a member of the well-known Ganelin-Tarasov-Chekasin Trio of contemporary jazz music. He has collaborated with Andrew Cyrille, Rova Saxophone Quartet, Anthony Braxton, Lauren Newton, Butch Morris, Thomasz Stanko, Gyorgy Szabados and Masahiko Satoh among other luminaries of jazz and improvised music. |
