A powerful, articulate improvised music release by this meeting of new
generation West and East Coast American musicians. This quartet explores the
outer limits of technique and abstraction while delivering serious
impact. Scowl consists of more than 50 minutes of free improvised music by a
quartet featuring trumpeter Nate Wooley, pianist Scott R. Looney, bassist Damon
Smith and drummer Weasel Walter. The ensemble's music is a distinct sum total
of four unique perspectives, drawing on a a wide palette of musical
possibilities, dynamics and timbres. The music is fast, clearly delineated,
compact and well-orchestrated, drawing from the sound vocabularies of 20th and
21st Century New Music forms. The recording is excellent and is best heard at
robust volume on stereo speakers, just like in the good old days of
high-fidelity. For fans of Bill Dixon, Evan Parker and Mats Gustafsson...
