Jazz / Free Improvisation / Post Bop
What you hear on this album is the first ever incidence of collaboration between four special players. 70-year-old saxophonist Joe McPhee blazes straight into the heart of the Decoy trio’s fizzling, telepathic, free music. One for those who like their drums, double bass and Hammond organ delivered in a distinctly untamed fashion. “A stonking live recording…” While the music is truly made up on the spot, there's no lack of shape, with the three pieces developing structure through constant shifts of pulse and metre…
More than one other review of this album has described the music in terms of levitation or roof-raising. I can only second that, and emphasise that lift-off is attained within the first few minutes of a set that scrapes in just seconds shy of an hour and twenty. Guest saxophonist Joe McPhee makes his initial, fast flurries over a Hammond shimmer that Alexander Hawkins launched over a percussive surge by Steve Noble, with everything rooted by sinuous bowing from bassist John Edwards. The remaining 76 minutes offer a succession of exchanges spun from an often subliminal, yet solidly embedded pulse. The band manages a superb ebb-and-flow of dynamically contrasting set-pieces. By the eighth minute, for instance, that initial surge has ceded to a knotty solo by Edwards that first invites Noble to tussle and then McPhee too to flex his muscles with a sinewy soprano solo. Another eight minutes in and exploratory forays by Hawkins have created a fresh surge of power dynamics. Tender moments of respite and passages of knotty free jazz alike are quickly made substantial and then just as quickly modulated and recast into something quite different. There’s not one slack moment…Personnel:
Joe McPhee – Tenor and soprano sax
Alexander Hawkins – Hammond B3 Organ
John Edwards – Double Bass
Steve Noble – Drums and Percussion
