Free Jazz Blog's 2017 Top 10 List 

by Rick Joines:

Danny Kamins, Damon Smith, Alvin Fielder, and Joe Hertenstein — After Effects (FMR Records, 2017)

 

 

"I am a fan of innovative bass players, of baritone sax, and of extended technique: this quartet hits all my sweet spots."

"The musicians who made this album know how to get out of the way when music desires to reveal its essence. Unshackled from preconceptions of composition and improvisation, they know the authenticity of the music—and of themselves as musicians—is more important than conforming to any definition of “free” or “jazz.” This is music without cliché or artifice. It does not exist to entertain—in the background or as a distraction. It often seems strange and unfamiliar, but when we slow down, it teaches us how to listen and how “to dwell within the truth that is happening in the work,” as Heidegger says. This music contemplates; it reflects, it thinks—and it sweeps us into its drift, transporting all of us out of the habitual mundane, beyond ourselves, up into the luminous." - Rick Joines

Rest In Power 2019, dear Alvin!

My first mention in the ModernDrummerMagazine, May2018:

 

Below's link takes you to my first mention in the Modern Drummer Magazine as part of reviews of four Ivo Perelman albums in the

excellent company of drum colleagues Gerald Cleaver,

Bobby Kapp and Jeff Cosgrove:

 "Four approaches to free improvisation highlight

individualism on the drums."

"The drummer scrambles like eggs on “Part 9” and adds kineticism to the busy “Part 3” while leading the trudge to the moaning “Part 1”."

George W. Harris, 11/2017
