Review

Doug McCombs made clear his mind-stretching abilities on bass long ago with Tortoise and Eleventh Dream Day. But as Brokeback, McCombs goes way further than on his other projects. The gig is this: McCombs plays searching bass, often in slow, minor-key episodes, on occasion joined by a cast of fellow Chicagoans like John Herndon on drums, John McEntire on keyboards, Josh Abrams and Noel Kuppersmith on acoustic basses, and Rob Mazurek on cornet. The music plays like an imaginary soundtrack, a soundscape that fits somewhere on a vast map. Luckily, McCombs hasn't lost his opportunity to title his session with a geographic reference. Heard as Field Recordings from the Cook County Water Table, this sounds neither like a field recording nor an image of Cook County. It's spacious and warm and expansive. --Andrew Bartlett
