Max Nagl - alto, bari and soprano saxes
Otto Lechner - accordion, piano, voice
Bradley Jones - double bass
Max Nagl contributed eight of the ten compositions for this set
(all but the two Charles Mingus songs) and his playing (mostly
on alto) is consistently impressive, but accordionist Otto
Lechner often steals honors. The uniqueness of hearing his
instrument in this trio setting gives the CD a distinctive
personality, and his playing on the slower pieces (including
the opening "Bowling") is often haunting. Nagl purposely let
the influence of Mingus be heard both in his playing (hinting
in various spots at Eric Dolphy, Clifford Jordan, and Charles
McPherson) and his inside/outside originals. The music often
swings conventionally if hard, but there are also sound
explorations (most notably on "Weird Nightmare"), some catchy
melodic riffs, group improvising, and unexpected variety. Much
of the music is cinematic, particularly "Flamingo," allowing
listeners to devise their own scenes to this intriguing and
stimulating set. It is well worth several listens.
