With Pharaoh & the Underground we have two generations of musicians whose
common bond is their greatness. Tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sandersùheir to
his friend and colleague John Coltraneùand Rob Mazurek, the most inventive
cornetist since Louis Armstrong are captured together on Spiral Mercury .
The album is a document of a 2013 concert, one of the live performances
Mazurek and Sanders have been collaborating on for several years. The two
are joined by Mazurek colleagues from various groups; percussionist
Mauricio Takara from Sao Paulo Underground, bassist Matt Luxùof the Pulsar
Quartetùand drummer Chad Taylor from the Chicago Underground collective.
Rounding out the sextet is multi-instrumentalist Guilherme Granado who has
appeared in several of Mazurek's many groups.
Despite the billing, Spiral Mercury is clearly Mazurek's domain with
Sanders in a supportingùbut influentialùrole. Sanders demonstrates that he
remains more than capable of invoking the inspiration of Albert Ayler, a
significant role model in his earlier pioneering of the free jazz movement.
It's a fitting compliment to Mazurek's endlessly inventive explorations but
Sanders has ample time on this seventy-seven minute recording to explore
the mystical seer role he's carried over from the days of classic works
like Tauhid (UMG Recordings, 1966).
Spiral Mercury is the kind of high-energy mix of ideas that have become
synonymous with Mazurek. The free association of concepts blend and clash
as on the asynchronous opener "Gna Toom." Sanders occasionally incorporates
a melody into his freely improvised tenor lines, often in contrast to
Mazurek's more frenetic contributions. The title track begins with a
synthesized folk melody building in intensity and speed, and displaying the
influence of Sπo Paulo Underground. Sanders breaks in with a more soulful
arc but only briefly, as the piece returns to free form. Taylor and Lux
provide an anchor that keeps "Blue Sparks from Her" grounded even as
Sanders and Mazurek continue to take contrary paths. This piece, originally
recorded on the Chicago Underground Duo's Synesthesia (Thrill Jockey,
2000), is perfect opportunity to meld the approaches of the various
Mazurek's groups represented here.
"Pigeon" and "Jagoda's Dream," originally from Sao Paulo Underground's Tres
Cabecas Loucuras (Cuneiform Records, 2011), are given a fresh perspective
here with the former being the standout piece on Spiral Mercury . With a
more restless nature, the piece takes on a new urgency and stands it apart
from the original version. "The Ghost Zoo" closes the program with a mash-
up of electronica, free improvisation and some blistering solos. Throughout
Spiral Mercury Sanders and Mazurek are acutely attuned to each other's
rhythmic sensitivities and Mazurek consistently demonstrates that one of
his greatest strengths is ability to freely improvise all around existing
structures without sacrificing musicality.
