This is the second release by the wonderfully free band "Nuts", and the first
release was in my opinion among the best albums of last year, with a double
trumpet front line, two drums and the bass of Benjamin Duboc. Rasul Siddik and
Itaru Oki play trumpet and flugelhorn, Didier Lasserre and Makoto Sato play the
drums. Duboc's philosophy is that music has no center anymore, it is created by
the context of players, of the moment, of the creative inspiration. And that's
how the music sounds: shifting phrases, floating on an evolution of ideas and
inspirations of the moment, moving forward, yet without a clear path but still
focused. The first part is close to twenty-five minutes long, the second
fourty-three minutes, and they were recorded live at Le Carré Bleu, in
Poitiers, France on February 5, 2009. And what you here is music flowing, with
variations in the levels of intensity, without rhythms or melodies, yet utterly
musical and lyrical. There is nothing harsh, abrasive or violent, just this
interesting development of creative interaction. The band is one of the best
developments in the musical lineage that was started by the AACM, but the title
suggests other sources as well : Don Cherry's "Symphony For Improvisers", "Old
& New Dreams", and "OtherDimensions In Music". All among my favorite albums and
bands. Creative beauty, sensitive lyricism, controlled freedom, respectful
dissonance, and moments of magical expressivity. Let's give them a five star
rating again.
