The Wyman and Watts of jazz, bassist William Parker and
percussionist Hamid Drake, traveled to Israel to perform
with Roy Campbell in the Pyramid Trio in February, 2005.
The next day, after having sat in with the band, Israeli
saxophonist Albert Beger recorded his own trio session
with Parker and Drake in the studio. The resulting
Evolving Silence Vol. 1 is just a taste: four tracks
across 42 minutes. But each composition stands
individually to represent a different aspect of BegerÆs
blend of free jazz and Middle Eastern lyricism (along with
the unquestionable spiritual authority of his bandmates)
and the recording is vivid, crackling with immediacy and
brimming with soul.
ôNaked Truthö opens with a serene invocation from Beger on
tenor, then transforms into an improvised burner as Beger
overblows with rising intensity. After Parker and Drake
play furiously, the tenor comes screaming back, concluding
decisively before a tranquil coda. Two duets occupy the
midsection. The first, for alto flute and bass, is the
sessionÆs most visceral performance, with Beger drawing
audible breaths and ParkerÆs repeated plucked motif in
support. The bass responds quickly to slight changes in
tempo before answering BegerÆs percussive flute pops with
a bouncing bow. The second, for tenor and drums, is in the
style of ColtraneÆs ôCountdownö; DrakeÆs loose-limbed
double-timing seems to inspire torrential sheets of sound
from Beger as he runs up and down his horn.
For the final track, ôRain Is Coming,ö Parker switches to
the doussnÆgouni (West African hunter's harp) to evoke the
eternal flow of the Nile and Drake handles his shaker as
if he were running his fingers through wooden wind chimes.
Atop DrakeÆs hi-hat shimmer and stick taps as light as
brushes, Beger blows a gorgeously meditative melody before
finishing with a soft chant of ôshanti, shanti.ö Peace
out.
We already know what Parker and Drake are capable of,
whether leading their own groups, playing as sidemen, or
simply supporting each other. With any luck, Albert
BegerÆs capabilities will become even more apparent and
impressive on Volume Two
