| MARK WHITECAGE TRIO-Fractured Again/Live on Tour in Tours Vol. 2 (Acoustics
412) With Mark on alto sax, clarinet & electronics, Dom Duval on acoustic
bass & electronics and Jay Rosen on drums. This is Mark Whitecage's fifth
release in the past few months and the second with his trio on tour in
France from one year ago. The good news is that since this flurry of
releases have come out - they have been selling loads and are consistently
great. This one is Mark's trusty trio who have been together for awhile and
seem to get better with each endeavor. Things begin with Mark looping a
line on his clarinet which repeats quietly and hypnotically, as the trio
slowly take off with Dominic also repeating the line on bass, building in
somber waves. On "Halfwit" Mark's alto is altered by electronics, adding an
alien, altered haze to its sound, the rhythm team begins to erupt from the
bottom on up as Mark's treated sax gurgles like a ghost set free - Dominic's
thick bowed bass pushes the trio into a startling segment as Mark's alto
begins to soar. This is an all-powerful trio that really mean business and
are in complete control of their eye and ear opening force! I dig when they
break into a standard in the middle of a long piece as a natural flow of
events and swing their tushes off, showing that it is not all freedom that
they excel in. A funny moment is in the beginning of "Can-Do Kind of Guy"
where someone loops their voice in an odd sort of way as Mark once more
plays and loops his treated clarinet - the combination of loops and notes
softly ascending higher and building with richer textures as Mark's alto
begins burning once more - the trio sailing into hyper-drive. This cd
concludes with a somber version of Monk's "'Round Midnight" which once again
shows that these cats know their history. Another splendid outing from the
inimitable Mark Whitecage Trio!
All of the above by musical adventurer
and scholar Bruce Lee Gallanter.
