[culturedarm]

The opening minutes of ‘El Haris (Anxious)’ from the Fylkingen festival capture something of a peacock’s proud strut, with Pat Thomas’s piano leading a staggered march as the bass and drums of Joel Grip and Antonin Gerbal wobble and shimmer and the staccato of Seymour Wright’s alto saxophone splays like the furling and unfurling of a train of covert feathers.

Umlaut Chamber Orchestra - Zodiac Suite - Mary Lou Williams' great piano suite; orchestration based on her original arrangement

In 1945, Mary Lou Williams (1910-1981) completed the composition of the Zodiac Suite. Each movement corresponded to an artist’s portrait associated with an astrological sign. It was a pretext to escape the rigidity of the musical forms for which Williams had previously written, and to experiment with the sonorities of the music of European composers such as Berg, Hindemith or Schoenberg. Although the Suite was composed for piano, Williams undertook to orchestrate it for chamber orchestra. Late in 1945, the public premiere left the composer frustrated,. A close look at Williams’ manuscripts clearly shows that the music that was performed that night does not reflect the composer’s original intentions. Movements had been stripped of their orchestration and performed as solo piano, entire sections had been cut, and multiple errors had not been corrected, due to a lack of time and resources. A cornerstone of Williams’ artistic life, this legendary work has never been recorded in its original form. After working for several years on the Mary Lou Williams archives, publishing the album Mary’s Ideas (Umlaut Records 2021) and being selected as a Villa Albertine 2023 resident, Pierre-Antoine Badaroux decided to tackle the chamber orchestra version of the Zodiac Suite, in an interpretation that underlines its heterogeneity and its richness.

Avant-cuvée 2024 : 2/8

Deuxième épisode des avant-cuvées 2024 en cette fin du mois d'avril, avec 6 nouveaux disques verrouillant d'ores-et-déjà leur place dans mon futur top 100 musical de l'année.

Ahmed | Wood Blues

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Angleterre | Astral Spirits | 59 minutes | 1 morceau

Ce quartet de jazz fondé à Londres est composé des britanniques Pat Thomas (piano) et Seymour Wright (saxo), du suédois Joel Grip (basse) et du français Antonin Gerbal (percussions). Depuis maintenant une décennie, il revisite les compositions du jazzman défunt Ahmed Abdul-Malik (bassiste et joueur d’oud) en les poussant dans de nouveaux retranchements. Ici, c’est un morceau daté de 1961, Oud blues (d’une durée de 4 minutes seulement) qu’il transforme en une improvisation live avant-gardiste et tourbillonnante de près d’une heure. Un hommage époustouflant de créativité et d’énergie brute.

🎧 Wood Blues

Donato Dozzy | Magda

🇮🇹 Italie | Spazio Disponibile | 51 minutes | 6 morceaux

Le maestro romain de l’ambient techno nous plonge ici dans un paysage sonore aquatique d’une douce et belle sérénité, livrant son meilleur album depuis plus de dix ans (et son remarquable Plays Bee Mask de 2013). Rappelant par endroits l’esthétique minimaliste accueillante du double album de référence Voices From the Lake (produit avec son compère Giuseppe Tillieci en 2012), Magda est une bande son tout aussi réconfortante que captivante, délicieusement propice aux instants de réflexion et de contemplation.

🎧 Le Chaser

Hannah Frances | Keeper of the Shepherd

🇺🇸 Etats-Unis | Ruination Record Co. | 37 minutes | 7 morceaux

Dans la plus pure tradition d'un folk progressif séculaire, à la fois mystique et rédempteur, ce troisième album d'Hannah Frances livre une fresque sonore et poétique absolument éblouissante. Profondément terrien mais majestueusement audacieux, il transforme le deuil (la perte du père) en une méditation aussi vibrante qu'hypnotique, aussi émouvante que sophistiquée. Instants suspendus beaux et apaisés, fulgurances orchestrales qui emportent tout sur leur passage : l'artiste se montre brillante dans chacun de ces registres, parée d'une voix et d'une plume d'un magnétisme à toute épreuve.

🎧 Keeper of the Shepherd

Mary Halvorson | Cloudward

🇺🇸 Etats-Unis | Nonesuch Records | 48 minutes | 8 morceaux

Mary Halvorson fait partie des esprits les plus affutés de la création artistique contemporaine. Elle a d’ailleurs reçu en 2019 la prestigieuse bourse MacArthur, dont l’objet est de libérer de toute contrainte financière pendant 5 années (afin qu’ils puissent se consacrer entièrement à leurs travaux de recherche) une vingtaine de citoyens américains se distinguant par leur intelligence, leur créativité et leur motivation à innover. Avant-gardiste et exploratoire, l’œuvre de la guitariste de jazz n’en est pas moins marquée par une profonde humilité, cherchant toujours à équilibrer l’improvisation libre avec des compositions structurées et expressives. Une patte absolument inimitable, laissant son empreinte de manière durable (les vibrations d’Amaryllis ne se sont toujours pas dissipées) et  qui ne cessera jamais de nous transporter (comme ici, vers les nuages).

🎧 Desiderata

Helado Negro | Phasor

🇺🇸 Etats-Unis | 4AD Records | 35 minutes | 9 morceaux

Peu d'artistes inspirent autant de sympathie que Roberto Carlos Lange. L'avoir vu en concert ne fait que renforcer ce sentiment. Au delà de la bonhomie du personnage, il se dégage de sa musique et de ses textes beaucoup de délicatesse et une douceur pleine de sagesse. Pour autant, l'expérimentation fait partie intégrante de son approche créative et la simplicité apparente de ses morceaux repose sur un travail en profondeur (textural comme émotionnel). Une très belle suite au Far In sorti en 2021.

🎧 Best For You and Me

Lord Spikeheart | The Adept

🇰🇪 Kenya | Haekalu | 37 minutes | 13 morceaux

Martin Kanja est une des figures les plus importantes de la scène électronique expérimentale de Nairobi. On avait déjà pu mesurer l’ampleur de sa force de frappe à travers différents projets, dont on retiendra prioritairement le groupe noise/indus Duma (avec un album éponyme qui avait fait grande sensation en 2020). Son premier opus solo, sous l’alias Lord Spikeheart, est une expérience sonore surpuissante et implacable, fusionnant métal, noise et rap dans un déferlement incessant de percussions explosives, de basses tonitruantes, de guitares distordues, de textures électroniques abrasives et de chants tantôt lugubres tantôt stridents. Aucun répit n’est offert pendant 37 minutes, avec en prime le renfort d’une véritable internationale bruitiste venue du Japon, du Venezuela, d’Europe ou encore d’Indonésie.

NJ WEEKENDER SPRING EDITION 2023

È toccato ad Alessia Obino aprire l’edizione primaverile di NJ Weekender Spring Edition, secondo appuntamento infra-stagionale di Novara Jazz. Lo ha fatto con “A Sound of Million Shape” (disco uscito da qualche mese), un indovinato mix di jazz e progressive rock, con un gruppo nutrito di musicisti e un piccolo coro. Subito a suo agio sia con composizioni sue, sia con alcuni brani di un vero guru dello spiritual jazz ovvero Sun Ra, dal quale Alessia Obino sembra di aver preso qualcosa di più di una semplice ispirazione, ma piuttosto un modo di concepire la musica (e il jazz). Tra i componenti della band un vigoroso Piero Bittolo Bon al sax e la contrabbassista Rosa Brunello, bravissima anche al basso elettrico. Sullo stesso palco, anzi nello stesso spazio, la “Sala Performing” di Nòva, poco più tardi si scatena un tornado di potenza musicale di rara intensità: si tratta del quartetto guidato dal pianista Pat Thomas e dedicato a Ahmes Malik, contrabbassista sudanese e rappresentante di spicco del filone mediorientale del jazz. La formazione vede un concentratissimo Antonin Gerbal alla batteria, Joel Gripal contrabbasso double bass, uno straordinario Seymour Wright al sax alto e Pat Thomas al piano. Un’ora di potenza assoluta, modulata su canoni diversi e lievemente mutanti. Insieme allo straordinario concerto di Marco Ribot (di cui ho già scritto), questo è certamente il set più interessante di tutto Nj Weekender Spring Edition 2023. I concerti della domenica si aprono con l’originale ensemble “Al Doum & The Faryds”, sulle ali dell’etno jazz di piacevolissima fattura, ma forse con ritmi un po’ monocordi, molto simili tra loro. Originali nei costumi e nella performance e apprezzati dal pubblico più giovane. Chiude l’ultima giornata del weekend musicale, la “Raphabdomantic Orchestra” di Manuel Volpe, formazione che ha reclutato nelle sue fila la cantante colombiana Maria Mallol Moya che, oltre ad aver portato con sé una gran voglia di dimenarsi e cercare di far ballare a tutti i costi il pubblico più giovane, non mi sembra proprio indimenticabile dal punto di vista vocale. Non va però dimenticato che durante la due giorni di concerti, dopo aver ascoltato un compositore del calibro di Marc Ribot, tutto il resto rischia inevitabilmente di sembrare sotto tono. Hanno completato il programma diversi D-Set, come quelli di Catu Diosis, Lorenzo Morresi e Beat Machine Records, Vittorio Barabino e Angie BacktoMono. Lo spazio Nòva è una bellissima realtà locale che però sembra più adatta, sia per concezione che per proposte ad un pubblico più giovane degli affezionati frequentatori di Novara Jazz. Arrivederci quindi alla XX Edizione del Festival in programma nei due weekend compresi tra il primo e l’undici giugno prossimi.

Slept Ons: The Best Records of 2020 That We Never Got Around To

Tattoos and shorts! How did we miss the Oily Boys?

It happens pretty much every year.  After much fussing and second-guessing, the year-end list gets finalized, set in stone really, encapsulating 12 months of enthusiastic listening, and surely these are the best ten records anyone could find, right? Right?  And then, a day or a week later, someone else puts up their list or records their year-end radio show, and there it is, the record you could have loved and pushed and written about…if only you’d known about it.  My self-kick in the shins came during Joe Belock’s 2020 round-up on WFMU when he played the Chats.  Others on our staff knew, earlier on, that they weren’t writing about records they loved for whatever reason — work, family, mp3 overload, etc. Except now they are.  Here.  Now. Enjoy.  

Contributors include me (Jennifer Kelly), Eric McDowell, Jonathan Shaw, Justin Cober-Lake, Bill Meyer, Bryon Hayes, Ian Mathers, Andrew Forell, Michael Rosenstein and Patrick Masterson. 

The Chats — High Risk Behavior (Bargain Bin)

High Risk Behaviour by The Chats

Cartoonishly primitive and gleefully out of luck, The Chats hurl Molotov cocktails of punk, bright and exploding even as they come. They’re from Australia, which totally makes sense; there’s a sunny, health-care-subsidized, devil-may-care vibe to their down-on-their luck stories. Musically, the songs are stripped down like Billy Childish, sped up like the Ramones, brute simple like Eddy Current Suppression Ring. Most of them are about alcohol: drinking, being drunk, getting arrested for being drunk, eating while drunk…etc. etc. But there’s an art to singing about getting hammered, and few manage the butt-headed conviction of “Drunk & Disorderly.” Its jungle rhythms, vicious, saw-toothed bass, quick knife jabs of guitar frame an all-hands drum-shocked chant: “Relaxation, mood alteration, boredom leads to intoxication.” Later singer Eamon Sandwith cuts right to the point about romance with the couplet, “I was cautious, double wrapped, but still I got the clap.” The album’s highlights include the most belligerently glorious song ever about cyber-fraud in “Identity Theft,” whose shout along chorus buoys you up, even as the dark web drains your savings account dry. The album strings together a laundry list of dead-end, unfortunate situations, one after another truly hopeless developments, but nonetheless it explodes with joy. Bandcamp says the guitar player has already left—so you’re too late to see the Chats live—but it must have been fun while it lasted.

Oliver Coates — skins n slime  (RVNG Intl)

skins n slime by Oliver Coates

2020 was a year of loss, of losing, of feeling lost. Whether weathering the despair of illness and death, the discomfort of displacement or the drift of temporal reverie, English cellist Oliver Coates creates music to reflect all this and more on skins n slime. Using modulators, loops and effects, Coates employs elements from drone, shoegaze and industrial to extend the range of the cello and conjure otherworldly sounds of crushing intensity and great beauty. Beneath the layering, distortion and dissonance, the human element remains strong. The tactility of fingers and bow on strings and the expressive essence of tone form the core of Coates composition and performance. If his experiments seem a willful swipe at the restrictions of the classical world from whence he came, the visceral power of a track like “Reunification 2018”, which hunkers in the same netherworld as anything by Deathprod or Lawrence English, the liminal, static bedecked ache of “Honey” and the unadorned minimalism of “Caretaker Part 1 (Breathing)” are works of a serious talent. skins n slime is an album to sit with and soak in; allow it to percolate and permeate and you’ll find yourself forgetting the outside world, if only for a while.  

Andrew Forell  

Bertrand Denzler / Antonin Gerbal — Sbatax (Umlaut Records)

Sbatax by Denzler - Gerbal

Tenor sax player Bertrand Denzler and drummer Antonin Gerbal released this duo recording last summer which slipped under the radar of many listeners. Denzler is as likely to be heard these days composing and performing pieces by others in the French ensemble ONCEIM, playing solo, or in settings for quiet improvisation. But he’s been burning it up as a free jazz player for years now as well. Gerbal also casts a broad net, as a member of ONCEIM, deconstructing free bop in the group Peeping Tom, or recontextualizing the music of Ahmed Abdul-Malik along with Pat Thomas, Joel Grip and Seymour Wright in the group Ahmed amongst many other projects. The two have worked together in a variety of contexts for a decade now, recording a fantastic duo back in 2014. Sbatax, recorded five years later at a live performance in Berlin is a worthy follow-up.  

Gerbal attacks his kit with ferocity out of the gate, with slashing cymbals and thundering kit, cascading along with drubbing momentum. Denzler charges in with a husky, jagged, repeated motif which he loops and teases apart, matching the caterwauling vigor of his partner straightaway. Over the course of this 40-minute outing, one can hear the two lock in, coursing forward with mounting intensity. Denzler increasingly peppers his playing with trenchant blasts and rasping salvos, riding along on Gerbal’s torrential fusillades. Throughout, one can hear the two dive deep in to free jazz traditions while shaping the arc of the improvisation with an acute ear toward the overall form of the piece. Midway through, Denzler steps back for a torrid drum solo, then jumps back in with renewed dynamism as the two ride waves of commanding potency and focus to a rousing conclusion, goaded on by the cheering audience. Anyone wondering whether there is still life in the tenor/drum duo format should dig this one up.

Kaelin Ellis — After Thoughts (self-released)

After Thoughts by KAELIN ELLIS

To be sure, “slept on” hardly characterizes Kaelin Ellis in 2020. After a trickle of lone tracks in the first months of the year, a Twitter video posted by the 23-year-old producer and multi-instrumentalist caught the attention of Lupe Fiasco, quickly precipitating the joint EP House. It’s a catchy story from any number of angles — the star-powered “discovery” of a young talent, the interconnectedness of the digital age, the silver linings of the COVID-19 pandemic — but it risks overshadowing Ellis’s two 2020 solo records: Moments, released in the lead-up to House, and After Thoughts, released in October. It doesn’t help that each album’s dozen tracks scarcely add up to as many minutes, or that the producer’s titles deliberately downplay the results. And some, of course, will judge these jazzy, deeply soulful beats only against their potential as platforms for some other, more extroverted artist. “I’d like to think I’m a jack of all trades,” Ellis told one interviewer, “but in all honesty my specialty is creating a space for others to stand out.”

Yet as with all small, good things, there’s reward in savoring these miniatures on their own terms, and After Thoughts in particular proved an unexpected retreat from last fall’s anxieties. Ellis has a poet’s gift for distillation and juxtaposition, a director’s knack for pathos and dramatic sequencing — powers that combine to somehow render a fully realized world. As fleeting as it is, Ellis’s work communicates a generosity of care and concentration, opening a space for others not just to stand out but also to settle in.

Lloyd Miller with Ian Camp and Adam Michael Terry — At the Ends of the World

At the Ends of the World by Lloyd Miller with Ian Camp and Adam Michael Terry

Miller and company fuse the feel of a contemporary classical concert with eastern modalities and instrumentation. The recordings sound live off the floor, and give a welcome sense of space and detail to the sensitive playing. Miller has explored the intersection between Persian and other cultural traditions and jazz through the lens of academic scholarship and recorded output since the 1960s. With this release, the performances linger in a space where vibe is as important as compositional structure. The results revel in the beauty when seemingly unrelated musical ideas emerge together in the same moment, with startling results.

 Oily Boys — Cro Memory Grin (Cool Death)

Cro Memory Grin by Oily Boys

The title of this 2020 LP by Australian punks Oily Boys sounds like a pun on “Cro-Magnon,” an outmoded scientific name for early humans. It’s apt: the music is smarter than knuckle-dragger beatdown or run-of-the-mill powerviolence, but still driven by a rancorous, id-bound savagery. The smarts are just perceptible enough to keep things pretty interesting. Some of the noisier, droning and semi-melodic stretches of Cro Memory Grin recall the records made by the Men (especially Leave Home) before they decided to try to make like Uncle Tupelo, or some lesser version of the Hold Steady. Oily Boys inhabit a darker sensibility, and their music is more profoundly bonkers than anything those other bands got up to. Aggro, discordant punk; flagellating hardcore burners; psych-rock-adjacent sonic exorcisms — you get it all, sometimes in a single five-minute passage of Cro Memory Grin (check out the sequence from “Lizard Scheme” to “Heat Harmony” to “Stick Him.” Yikes). A bunch of the tunes spill over into one another, feedback and sustain jumping the gap from one track to the next, which gives the record a live vibe. It feels volatile and sweaty. The ill intent and unmitigated nastiness accumulate into a palpable force, tainting the air and leaving stains on your tee shirt. Oily Boys have been kicking around Sydney’s punk scene since at least 2014, but this is their first full-length record. One hopes they can continue to play with this degree of possessed abandon without completing burning themselves to down to smoldering cinders. At least long enough to record some more music.

 Dougie Poole — The Freelancer's Blues (Wharf Cat)

The Freelancer's Blues by Dougie Poole

A cursory listen might misconstrue the heart of Dougie Poole's second album, The Freelancer's Blues. When he mixes his wobbly country sound with lyrics like those in “Vaping on the Job,” it sounds like genre play, a smirking look at millennial life through an urban cowboy's vintage sound. Poole does target a particular set of issues, but mapping them with his own slightly psychedelic country comes with very little of the postmodern itch. His characters feel just as troubled as anyone coming out of 1970s Nashville, and as Poole explores these lives with wit and empathy, the songs quickly find their resonance.

The album, though it wouldn't reach for pretentious terms, carries an existential problem at its center. Poole circles around the fundamental void: work deadens, relocation doesn't help, spiritual pursuits falter, intelligence burdens, and even the drugs don't help. When Poole finally gets the title track, the preceding album gives his confession extra weight, a mix of life's strictures and personal limitation combining for a crisis best avoided but wonderfully shared. The Freelancer's Blues comes rich in Nashville tradition but finds an ideal fit in its contemporary place, likely providing a soundtrack for a variety of times and spaces yet to come.

Justin Cober-Lake

 Schlippenbach Quartett — Three Nails Left (Corbett Vs. Dempsey)

You might say that this record has been slept on twice. The second recording to be released by the Alexander von Schlippenbach, Evan Parker and Paul Lovens (augmented this time by Peter Kowald) was released in 1975, and didn’t get a second pressing — on vinyl — until 2019. So, Corbett Vs. Dempsey stepped up last summer, it had never been on CD. But this writer was so stumped on how to relate how intense, startling, and unlike any other free improvisation it was and is, that he just… slept on it. Until now. Even if you know this band, if you don’t know this album, well, it’s time you got acquainted.

Bill Meyer 

Stonegrass — Stonegrass (Cosmic Range)

STONEGRASS by Stonegrass

Released on the cusp of a tentative re-opening for the city of Toronto after two months of lock-down, this slab of psychedelic funk-rock was the perfect antidote to the COVID blues when it arrived at the tail end of a Spring spent in near-isolation. The jam sessions that became Stonegrass were also a new beginning for multi-instrumentalist Matthew “Doc” Dunn and drummer Jay Anderson, who reignited a spirit of collaboration after a decade of sonic estrangement following the demise of their Spiritual Sky Blues Band project. Listening to these songs, you’d never know they spent any time apart. The tight, bottom-wagging jams on offer are evidence that these two are joined together at the third eye. Anderson’s grooves run deep, and Dunn — whether he’s traipsing along on guitar, keys or flutes — is right there with him. There’s enough fuzz here to satiate the heads, but the real treat here is the rhythmic interplay. Strap in and prepare to get down. 

Bryon Hayes 

 Bob Vylan — We Live Here EP (Venn Records)

Bob Vylan flew under the radar in 2020 successfully enough that when someone nominated them for the best of 2020 poll in Tom Ewing’s Peoples’ Pop Polls project on Twitter (each month a different year or category gets voted on in World Cup-style brackets, it’s great fun and only occasionally maddening), most of the reaction was “is that one a typo?” Nobody had that response after listening to “We Live Here” — my wife also participates in the poll, so we just play all the candidates in our apartment, and Bob Vylan was the first time both of our jaws dropped in amazement; the song got played about ten times in a row at that point. Bobby (vocals/guitar/production) and Bobbie (drums/“spiritual inspiration”) Vylan’s 18-minute EP lives up to that title track, fireball after fireball aimed directly at the corrupt, crumbling, racist state that seems utterly indifferent to human suffering unless there’s profit in it. Whether it’s the raging catharsis of the title track or the cool, precise hostility of “Lynch Your Leaders,” Bob Vylan have made something vital and essential here, that very much speaks to 2020 but sadly will stay relevant long past it.  

Ian Mathers

 Working Men’s Club — Working Men’s Club (Heavenly Recordings)

It’s been evident these past few years that I’ve retreated from music and committed myself to the slower world of books as a way of giving my mind a break from the accelerating madness outside, but I could never really leave my radio family the same way I could never really leave Dusted. Another great example why: A fellow CHIRP volunteer played “John Cooper Clarke” in a December Zoom social I actually managed to catch, and I’ve been addicted to Working Men’s Club’s debut LP from October ever since. The quartet hails from Todmodren, a market town you won’t be surprised upon listening to discover is roughly equidistant between Leeds and Manchester; the album screams Hacienda vibes in its seamless integration of post-punk signifiers and dancefloor style. It’s easy to bandy about names from Rip It Up and Start Again or even The Velvet Underground in 12-minute closer “Angel,” certainly one of the most arresting tracks of the year, but the thing that struck me immediately is that this was the record I’d always anticipated but never got from Factory Floor — smart, aloof and occasionally calculated, yet still fun enough to play for any crowd itching to move. Until the community of a dance party or Working Men’s Club live set is once again possible, patience and a fully formed first album will have to suffice. You’ll have to imagine the part where I corner you at the party to rave about it, I’m afraid.

Ahmed Abdul-Malik pioneering Arabic jazz

[Ahmed] Pays Tribute to a Titan of Islamic Jazz: “An eruption of cyclic motifs, pounding clusters, and insistent grooves, [Ahmed]’s Nights On Saturn is an inspired reimagining of Ahmed Abdul-Malik’s pioneering Arabic jazz. It’s the third album from the Anglo-French quartet, which consists of pianist Pat Thomas, alto saxophonist Seymour Wright, bassist Joel Grip, and drummer Antonin Gerbal, and their first for American label Astral Spirits—timely recognition for one of the most adventurous groups in contemporary music. A singular musician, the Oxford-based Thomas has been active since the 1980s, bringing his avant-garde pianism and wild electronics to collaborations with Derek Bailey, Lol Coxhill, Orphy Robinson and Irreversible Entanglements, whose bassist Luke Stewart provides the sleeve notes to Nights On Saturn. ...”

Sbatax - Spires - two side-long free-jazz jams from sax/drums duo

Under the name SBATAX, Denzler and Gerbal continue their exploration of flow, speed and patterns by exacerbating the sound of their saxophone-drums duo. The furrow they dig ends up forming spirals that gradually migrate towards regions where movement becomes a texture that floats in the wind. Bertrand Denzler and Antonin Gerbal have been working together since 2011, both as a duo and with bands and projects such as Zoor, Denzler-Gerbal-Dörner, Onceim, Horns+, CCP3 or Protocluster, whose albums have been released by labels such as Umlaut Records, Confront Recordings and Remote Resonator. Bertrand Denzler: tenor saxophone Antonin Gerbal: drums

Nights on Saturn (communication) by [Ahmed]

With his integration of non-Western elements into post-bop, bassist and oud player Ahmed Abdul-Malik made a mark on the jazz tradition on his string of releases as a leader in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Starting with Jazz Sahara, he went beyond exoticism and dove in to a true improvisational synthesis of jazz vocabulary and the microtonalities of Arabic and Eastern music, melding hard bop sonorities with instruments like the qanun (an Arabic zither-like instrument), daegeum (a Korean reed flute) or the sliding temperament of Bilal Abdurrahman’s clarinet playing. So, it is fitting that the group [Ahmed] (sometimes spelled without the brackets), with pianist Pat Thomas, alto sax player Seymour Wright, bassist Joel Grip, and drummer Antonin Gerbal, would both embrace Abdul-Malik’s music while transforming and abstracting it with their own internalizations and personal approaches to improvisation.

Amongst a plethora of projects, Thomas has long incorporated and metamorphasized the jazz tradition, both overtly in his interpretation of music by musicians like Monk, Paul Bley, and Ellington, and more indirectly in collaboration with musicians like Lol Coxhill. He’s also dug deep into the Arabic roots of jazz. Grip and Gerbal have each worked in various contexts reflecting on the jazz tradition as well as in their trio ISM, along with Thomas, where they explore churning, multi-layered collective free improvisation. The real wildcard here is the choice of Seymour Wright as the saxophonist. The alto player’s single-minded solos delve deeply into the establishment of a personal, timbral vocabulary from the deconstruction of the keypads, conical bore and reed vibrations of the instrument. But then there was his participation in the trio SUM along with Eddie Prévost and Ross Lambert, a setting for collective invention obliquely infused with jazz voicings. That said, Wright is also an erudite writer about reed players as diverse as Lou Gare, Julius Hemphill and Johnny Hodges. So that choice may not be as odd as it seems. 

For their third release, a set captured live at Café Oto in London in December 2019, the four dive into an extended improvisation inspired by Abdul-Malik’s “Nights on Saturn” and “Communication.” Like on their previous recordings, they circle in on thematic kernels from Abdul-Malik’s pieces and their loping momentum and then obsessively dismantle them into cycling waves and drubbing torrents. Grip and Gerbal establish the pace and kick things along as Thomas’ hammered clusters and Wright’s overblown blasts and rasps dart in and out of a forceful, coursing thrust, feeding back into the overall cascading energy of the piece. They notably eschew the conventions of a traditional piano, reeds, bass, drums quartet. This is rarely about heads or solos, instead, immediately locking into a communal approach to the underlying structure of the piece. The even balance of the recording places all instruments equally so none ever jumps to the fore. When things do open up for Grip’s bass solo about two thirds of the way through, they cannily use that as a transition point to wind out for the final stretch, gradually adding in each member, mounting to a caterwauling conclusion. It will be intriguing to hear where the four members will take this concept. For now, though, it’s always wonderful to hear how they continue to navigate Abdul-Malik’s music with their highly distinctive reconstruction of the tradition.
