Tea Music is the debut studio recording by Chicago-based
clarinetist/composer James Falzone’s three year-old working
quartet, KLANG. Falzone, vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz, bassist
Jason Roebke and drummer Tim Daisy all compose for the group,
which picks up the swing era thread of pairing clarinet and vibes,
while also exploring its collective interest in the innovative
sounds of Jimmy Giuffre’s early small groups of the mid-1950’s.
“Klang is the German word for sound or sonority,” Falzone
explains, “and I often think of the sound of something, whether
that be a group, a composition or a musician, before anything
else. The mixing of vibes and clarinet is a sound explored
famously by Benny Goodman and Lionel Hampton in the prebop
era, and then taken up again by Eric Dolphy and Bobby
Hutcherson. There is something in the acoustic make-up of the
two instruments that allows them to blend well.”
“As for the Giuffre connection,” he adds, “I’ve always been taken
with his early groups, before the trios with Jim Hall and Bob
Brookmeyer, and well before the trios with Paul Bley and Steve
Swallow, though I love those trios, too. And, his unique approach
to his instrument has fascinated, confused and delighted me
beyond explanation since I heard The Jimmy Giuffre Clarinet
at 12 years old. The guys in KLANG are all as into him as I am—
everyone here in Chicago is, actually.”
