Album Review

Reviewed 2002-06-27
Free improv with violin, bass, trombone. Zingaro on violin keeps things active and even bouncing, which is good because these particular instruments can get bogged down in the click-and-squeak kinds of noises rather easily. I'm still not big on trombone improv --too many trombonists obsess on timid, curly noises instead of the big booming notes their instrument demands. The trombone here is much the same, but its role is often to provide background color while the violin and bass craft wild, swirling patterns.

1- Quiet, slowly moving
2- Low-level rustle, mid/fast
3- Dramatic, tense, mid/fast
4- Fast, bright, nice violin lines
5- Quiet
6- Trombone solo, sparse
7- Dark rustle
8- Pretentious art-film feel. Short.
9- Fast clicks and groans
10-- Dark, mid/fast
11- Tuneful! and cool, with percussive sounds and wordless female vocal. Pleasant stuff.
