Review

Drummer Jim Black, probably the most in-demand collaborator-sideman of the Downtown New York improvised music scene, brings rubbery, hypnotic compositional smarts to the stage on Alasnoaxis. Saxophonist Chris Speed--with whom Black cofounded Human Feel in the early 1990s--shoots long and shapely tones through Black's more clattering tunes and his spacey, gauzy material with the same sense of how to make the music emotionally dynamic. Electric bassist Skuli Sverrisson nimbly dances when things are raw and loud, as does guitarist Hilmar Jensson. Black again makes clear why he ranks with Han Bennink as one of jazz's foremost full-kit, crashing and thrashing players. Like Bennink, he creates echoes and nuances out of drum thwacks and cymbal smacks that lend the overall music tremendous passion. --Andrew Bartlett
