Cortex - Legal Tender - acoustic skronk from Norway (Clean Feed)

Thomas Johansson trumpet, percussion Kristoffer Berre Alberts saxophones, percussion Ola Høyer double bass, percussion Gard Nilssen drums, percussion Free jazz? Well, not exactly. This quartet from Norway took that tradition as a basis, but the original African-American free jazz never sounded like this. The magazine Jazzwise chose better words to describe Cortex’s blasts of energy: «Avant-garde party music». Instead of the pathways to spiritual ascension, or the revolt against the Man, Thomas Johansson, Kristoffer Berre Alberts, Ola Høyer and Gard Nilssen play music to party to and to be joyful, and that’s also political and sacred in these times of suffering, hatred and disbelief. The composed themes are simple and with no ornaments, giving to the improvised developments all the needed space and all the complexity we like to hear in creative music. The pieces are intense, dramatic and noisy, inviting you to move your body and constantly defying your mind and your soul. Do you remember when Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry, or John Zorn and Dave Douglas, played together? Cortex is that next thing you were waiting for…

Steve Noble & Kristoffer Berre Alberts – Coldest Second Yesterday (Clean Feed)

Drilling down to the most viscerally satisfying dyad of instruments is in free jazz by definition an exercise in subjectivity, but as convincing a case as any can be levied for the tandem of tenor saxophone and drums. John Coltrane and Rashied Ali, Fred Anderson and Hamid Drake, Peter Brötzmann and Han Bennink, Dewey Redman and Ed Blackwell… the remainder of this review could be easily be consumed by the cataloguing of improvisers who have made major statements with the pared down format. English drummer Steve Noble and Norwegian actor-turned-improviser Kristoffer Berre Alberts add their efforts to that venerated lineage with Coldest Second Yesterday, a concert captured from the summer of last year that finds them both deep in the duo zone.

Three pieces add up to a modest thirty-four minutes of music, but the relative brevity works in both players’ favor with a set that’s at once lean and aggressive with no space for encroaching longueurs. Alberts approach to his horn is a pleasingly personalized amalgam of elders Evan Parker and the aforementioned Brötzmann, juggling full bore, reed-splintering blasts with detours into murmuring reed pops and fluttering multiphonics. From his section of the stage Noble gauges a similar spectrum of energy and movement from clattering tumult to more circumspect patterning with sticks, brushes, fingers and palms. The combination sustains an admirable degree of focus and even at their most apoplectic and frenetic it’s readily discernable that they’re listening closely to each other.

“Animal Settlement” sets the stage as a nearly seven-minute salutation grounded in ferocious free exposition and shared ebullience. “Inclination” apes the diagonal movement intimated by its title, accelerating in density and volume to a diffusive exit. “Order Left Behind” is last to arrive and opens almost in media res with whinnying horn and pounding tom toms slashed by serrated cymbal accents. More vertical interplay ensues with Alberts’ firing geysers of raw, squealing sound from his instrument’s bell while Noble carves up the underlying rhythm with a frothing and eddying display of stick play. Together they complete a decent job of capturing the kind of cathartic liberation that is the common end game of this style of music without compromising individual clarity or audience engagement.

Fra fri impro til frijazz. Andre konsert på PØKK i Kunsthall Trondheim denne kvelden var en høyenergisk utblåsning med Cortex – “Verdens beste festband” som de ble innannonsert som. Det var visst også en releasekonsert for deres siste utgivelse “Live in New York”. Jeg er i farta usikker på om de var innom noen av komposisjonene som ligger på plata men det spiller ingen rolle – Det var en fabelaktig og humørfylt konsert, og det er ei strålende plate.
