“Renku” dates from the band’s first album and shows through line of consistency
in terms of composerly considerations. Takeishi starts the piece solo, soon
locking on an aqueous groove on which his partners converge. Hebert digs in
with a punchy ostinato, buffeting from beneath by a swaying backbeat. Attias
appears unperturbed, riding the crests and furrows with a piquant stream of
notes. Motion’s ode opens with fractious alto and drums, Hebert waiting in the
wings to pounce with carefully calibrated slabs of reverberating sound. “Lurch”
shows off the bassist’s arco prowess in close collusion with Attias’ reed drone
and bowed metal from Takeishi’s corner while “Dark Net” contrasts airy alto
with lugubrious bass against another hard-slanted groove.

Renku’s instrumentation isn’t singular in the least and the music won’t startle
the senses of anyone familiar with the freer-leaning trends in jazz over the
last half-century. Where the trio deviates is in the minds behind the tools,
three musicians with over a decade of shared experience between them making
music in the moment. It’s enough.
