Customer Reviews and Comments
Doug is correct in his review but I have some things to add. Tim Berne wrote out charts for all of the instuments on this CD and yes it is in the chamber music/jazz music style popular in Europe and common in 21st Century jazz. Sometimes it's just a saxophone and a cello or a cello and a bass or percusion and guitar in the new music while still finding places for sax monsters Charles Gayle, Peter Brotzmann, David S. Ware and Ken Vandermark to name a few. Also, Tim had performed with Julius Hemphill and recorded on the Julius Hemphill Sextet CD "Five Chord Stud" which was orchestrated and directed by Hemphill. The jazz as chamber music can be found in Hemphill's World Saxophone Quartet, especially the important "Steppin" CD. Berne squeeks and squaks and hits solid long tones more than say John Zorn with his massive attack but he too (Berne) can put his foot on the gas. Anyway this was his first attempt at a mapped out recording and it is a little quieter than "Fulton Street Maul" for sure. But check out Mark Dresser, Anthony Braxton, Erik Friedlander and even Nels Cline and Matthew Shipp for some more controlled power approach style.
