| The Art Ensemble are some of the most versatile, creative, and skilled
improvisors in any idiom, and this is one of thier finest displays of
on-the-spot brilliance. Whether they're dropping funky melodies,
letting reeds careen over immersive percussion, or confronting you with
shredding noise guitar (yes, this really happens for a few seconds!),
this album is constantly engaging, immediate, and even accessible.
Following this extended piece is no problem -- it's much less daunting
than, say, a Peter Brotzmann Tentet session, or even a Cecil Taylor
composition. Lovers of improv, the jazz avant garde, and vibrant, fun
genre-swapping music owe it to themselves to check this out. Some of
the Art Ensemble's best early work. |
