Free Jazz at its best. Only discovered Tim Berne recently. I love the tension between structure and improvisation on this live album. You get extended really crazy improvisations out of which a structured driving riff will appear. Its really thrilling! Like tension exploding! So yeah, I love Bloodcount but I realise this wont be for everyone 😁. Crinklechips
Ken Vandermark is one of my 'big five' and this new(ish) project (four albums now) is already shaping up to become somewhat definitive.
I try not to use superlatives to describe music I find it necessary to your well-being to listen to but sometimes you have to admit it's the only way to go: a brilliant diamond in the dust.
It's akin to igniting rocket fuel... the momentum is unstoppable and it engenders the aural equivalent of arc-light. John Cratchley
Mary Halvorson’s 9 year old recording is all what it needs to be, bold, playful, inventive, and a bit “weird” as she might put it. An absolute joy to listen to, never too abstract to completely lose track of rhythm and never, never boring. MH has got the rare ability to stimulate brain and heart at the same time. Just wish they would reissue her 2 first albums on vinyl. Torsten
