▓████▓▌ ................................................... ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Few figures in jazz have more effectively made a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ case for the melodic aspect of percussion than Max ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Roach. As one of the progenitors of bebop ▓▌
▓████▓▌ drumming, he favored a style of playing that often ▓▌
▓████▓▌ traced the contours of a song. Just as remarkably, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Roach dove more or less headfirst into free ▓▌
▓████▓▌ improvisation during the '70s, erecting ▓▌
▓████▓▌ compositional structures where there was previously ▓▌
▓████▓▌ shapelessness. Streams of Consciousness (Piadrum), ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a 1977 tΩte-α-tΩte with pianist Abdullah Ibrahim, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ fits comfortably in both the melodic and freeform ▓▌
▓████▓▌ categories of Roach's canon. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Strains of gospel, blues and swing weave throughout ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the canvas of these duo improvisations, along with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ percussive interludes imported from the African ▓▌
▓████▓▌ continent (where Ibrahim, then known as Dollar ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Brand, spent his youth). In fact, black music ▓▌
▓████▓▌ serves both as an animating principle and a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ framework for Streams, giving shape to an otherwise ▓▌
▓████▓▌ open-ended dialogue. The ease with which Roach and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ibrahim speak this language is evident; their clear ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rapport signals both a shared grasp of jazz's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ origins and a shared commitment to the cause of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ freedom. Tellingly, the album begins and ends on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the same ascending gospel tremolo, implying ▓▌
▓████▓▌ eternity and a journey come full circle. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (JazzTimes) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ................................................... ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Originally released in 1977 on the Bay State label, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Streams Of Consciousness is a classic, open-ended ▓▌
▓████▓▌ summit meeting between South African pianist ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Abdullah Ibrahim and African-American drummer Max ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Roach that blazes with drama, suspense, sympathy ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and surprise. Both musicians were at the top of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ their games - fearless, ferocious, high-spirited ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and hopeful - and eminently able to execute ▓▌
▓████▓▌ whatever came to mind. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Roach, a consummate designer of sound who thinks ▓▌
▓████▓▌ like a composer, excels in sparse duet situations ▓▌
▓████▓▌ like this. Knowing when to yield and when to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ charge, when to complement and when to take the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ foreground. Roach adds not just melody, but color, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ shape, texture and form to everything he plays ▓▌
▓████▓▌ here. Ibrahim was still willing in 1977 to use the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ piano as a resounding, dissonant canvas, rumbling ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and clustering, as well as waxing glassy with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ folksy melodies and aching tremolos. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ All four tracks here were spontaneously composed. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The centerpiece is the title opener, a 20-minute ▓▌
▓████▓▌ excursion that begins, as so much Ibrahim does, in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ church, with a tremolo hymn. Roach follows using a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ simple kit that sounds decidedly African - not ▓▌
▓████▓▌ because of non-Western drums - but because his bass ▓▌
▓████▓▌ drum and a dry-sounding tom dominate a series of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ quick, discreet figures that subtly change in each ▓▌
▓████▓▌ cadence. The pair then finds a medium swing feel, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ as Ibrahim leaps into dissonance and Roach finds a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ funky skip in his bass drum. Five minutes in, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ these guys are just flying through territory that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ is dark, deep and delicious. AT one point, a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ happy, dancing blues arises; at another, Roach's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ half-shut hi-hat whispers and shakes. There are ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ibrahim vamps, suspense-movie interludes and a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ cymbal symphonette and , finally, a heart-rending , ▓▌
▓████▓▌ beautiful waltz. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Of the other three shorter tracks, "Consanguinity" ▓▌
▓████▓▌ stands out, living up to the then-political ▓▌
▓████▓▌ overtones of this Africa/African-American ▓▌
▓████▓▌ conference. Roach sets up a 12/8 feel on a deep, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ loose-headed tom, and Ibrahim punctuates, as if he ▓▌
▓████▓▌ were a drum. Roach's subtle integration of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ marching-band fundamentals and additive, African ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Layering is brilliant. "Inception" is quiet and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ exploratory, with lots of rests, leaving only the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ footprints of a township tune, ß lα Thelonious ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Monk's "Evidence." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (Downbeat) ▓▌
