Daniel Carter - alto & tenor saxophones
Steve Swell - trombone
Tom Abbs- bass, tuba
David Brandt- drums
The Trascendentalists wear their spiritualism on their
collective sleeves. The ensembleÆs name and songbook suggest
easy fodder for naysayers and skeptics, but itÆs in the
straightforward emotion and honesty of their music that any
tendencies toward listener cynicism are summarily abolished.
Abbs accomplishes a mean feat on the opener by playing a bass
ostinato and adding tuba flourishes simultaneously, juggling
the two instruments like a circus strongman twirling barbells.
The teeter-totter harmonic underpinning of the piece is often
fleeting and at times disorienting, but BrandtÆs tumbling traps
play keeps the forward momentum constant. Other track titles
speak in similar vagaries, but again itÆs the sounds that
convey the ensembleÆs message of finely tuned collective
improvisation in no uncertain terms. ôThe Spiritàö toys with
the vestiges of a groove, almost never overtly stated, but
supplied by Abbs and Brandt. Carter and Swell riff expressively
above, churning out whorls of sonic energy punctuated by
crevices of silence. Abbs takes huge gulps of air, cheeks no
doubt flushed by the effort, and channels breath in bursts
through the mouthpiece of his tuba, all the while bowing his
strings ferocious speed.
Tracks like ôThe Heartàö and ôThe Effects of Selfless Givingö
trade density for intricate and strangely anthemic interplay.
The effect is akin to the calm after the storm and producer Bob
RuschÆs comparisons to chamber music in the liners seem
particularly appropriate in this context. Clarinet and trombone
lines float in ghostly smudges over a sparse rhythmic
topography of throbbing bass, splashing cymbals and ominous
toms. While quieter on the surface than its brethren, the piece
is infused with a thrilling tension just the same. ôThe Effects
of Right Effortö demonstrates the ensembleÆs uncanny ability to
almost invisibly shape a groove from what sound like disparate
strains. One moment the players seem to moving in intensely
individual directions, the next all are in sync and traversing
the same terrain. ItÆs the product of careful collective
listening and a deep familiarity with one anotherÆs ways and
means. This is a band that conjures up mighty torrents of sound
on command, but retains clarity of focus even in the midst of
its most ecstatic outpourings. Their name might be a bold
gamble, but the music is a sure bet.
