Jazz / Avant-Garde Jazz / Free Improvisation

The group name completely covers the overtones. This unique trio combines the forces of three driven seekers from various continents: New York trombonist Steve Swell, Israeli drummer Ziv Ravitz and last but not least, our own Joachim Badenhorst on clarinet. Although we know the ever-amazing Steve Swell from more than a hundred previous endeavors, I can't say that I know much about Mr. Ravitz. No matter, since all three members of this trio are integral to the strong group sound. From slow and cerebral to even more spacious and mysterious, this trio completely focused and fascinating. Like the trio last Sunday, this trio excels at long, slightly bent drones with sparse yet selective interaction. Muted foghorn-like sounds, eerie radiator steam sounds and subtle mallet works inform a couple of the fist pieces. The clarinets and trombone seem to revolve around similar orbits or tonal areas, answering each other's lines seamlessly. I dig the way this music swerves between playful and more serious explorations, as well as between more melodic and further out regions. I get the feeling that (this) music is similar to the way Morse code or our own speaking condenses ideas into a stream which then transmits certain ideas from them to us. If you listen closely, it all makes some sense in a way more instinctual way. A completely solid and recommended session.
