Drawing from their extensive experience of playing with
virtually every household name in the experimental and
avant-garde jazz areas, this quartet featuring Hans Tammen,
Alfred 23 Harth, Chris Dahlgren and Jay Rosen delivers a real
thrill ride with their new release Expedition. Its members
have played with John Zorn, Sonny Sharrock, Jaco Pastorius,
Peter Broetzmann, David Murray, Fred Frith, Peter Kowald,
Anthony Braxton, Roscoe Mitchell, Keith Rowe, Gⁿnter Mⁿller,
Paul Lytton, William Parker, Herb Robertson and many others.
With masterful command of even the most extreme ranges of
their instruments, the four musicians demonstrate perceptive
and unflagging attention, bountiful energy, responsive
imagination, and the ability to track rapidly shifting shapes
of amassed sound and tack personal intent to the group's
direction.
Recorded at New York City's venerable Knitting Factory in
2001, this concert finds Hans Tammen meshing his edgy
"endangered guitar" sound with the improvised noise bursts and
beats of fellow avant-garde luminaries Alfred 23 Harth
(reeds), Chris Dahlgren (bass and electronics), and Jay Rosen
(drums). While the group occasionally offers up moments of
quiet reflection, it often goes for a frenetic frontal
assault, recalling the work of fellow downtown fixture John
Zorn.
