Since Time Is Gravity is the seventh album by Natural Information Society. Led
by guimbri player/bassist Joshua Adams since 2010, NIS has a core lineup that
includes Lisa Alvarado on harmonium, Mikel Patrick Avery on drums, and Jason
Stein on bass clarinet. Guests are a big part of the band's recorded and
performance histories, and this set is no different. Assisting the group this
time are Chicago tenor sax legend Ari Brown, percussionist Hamid Drake, harpist
Kara Bershad, alto saxophonists Mai Sugimoto and Nick Mazarella, and cornet
players Ben Lamar Gay and Josh Berman. All 11 musicians are present on three of
the album's tracks. Abrams' original music is deeply inspired by Gnawan healing
music from Morocco, but almost by extension of his vast experience (Roots,
Tortoise, Black Earth Ensemble, etc.), it readily embraces, borrows from, and
intersects with other musics too. Often his cornucopia of other sounds has
(deliberately) overshadowed jazz. That's not true here. Given the variety of
reeds, winds, and brass here, the connection is explicit. [...]
