▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Slay the Suitors, on the Japanese Avant label, is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ one of the hardest-edged recordings in Bobby ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Previte's catalog as a bandleader. While Previte's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ work has always been edgy and adventurous, the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sheer joy he gets from drumming gives his music an ▓▌
▓████▓▌ exuberant energy and tends ù for the most part ù to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ hold darker influences at bay. (His ominous 1987 ▓▌
▓████▓▌ soundtrack recording Dull Bang, Gushing Sound, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Human Shriek is a notable exception.) Some of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Previte's most upbeat compositions were found on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the 1990 Gramavision album Empty Suits, credited to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ his ensemble of the same name that recorded Slay ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Suitors in 1993. Previte, trombonist Robin ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Eubanks, keyboardist Steve Gaboury, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ guitarist/bassist Jerome Harris are present on both ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Empty Suits CDs, but in many ways the two CDs ▓▌
▓████▓▌ couldn't be farther apart. On Slay the Suitors, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Previte has largely abandoned the world fusion ▓▌
▓████▓▌ elements of the preceding Empty Suits, taken away ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the guest musicians, and eliminated any overdubbing ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in favor of a live in-studio recording. Even with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Wayne Horvitz joining Gaboury on keyboards and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Roger Squitero on percussion, the band now has a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ stripped-down immediacy and rougher sound, which is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ reinforced by Slay the Suitors' more loosely ▓▌
▓████▓▌ improvisational and unruly music. The Herbert Read ▓▌
▓████▓▌ quote on the CD cover, the controversial cover art ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (which reportedly led Gramavision to drop plans for ▓▌
▓████▓▌ releasing the CD), the Slay the Suitors title, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of course the music itself all take metaphorical ▓▌
▓████▓▌ aim at classicism in the arts ù so one assumes that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the classical-sounding titles of the four ▓▌
▓████▓▌ compositions here are intended as a touch of irony. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ All the pieces are longer than anything on the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ band's Gramavision release, and all take their time ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to coalesce. "Fantasy and Nocturne" begins quietly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with a spare piano melody that is quickly overtaken ▓▌
▓████▓▌ by a fusion-flavored theme from the full band; the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ piece then slides into pulse-driven territory ▓▌
▓████▓▌ filled with skronky instrumental voicings that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ slip, slide, and collide in cacophonous glee. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Spacious passages follow, featuring experimental ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sonics that circle, skitter, and drone around the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ anchor of a slow and deliberate piano, before the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ band pulls back together for a coda that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ dramatically restates the initial theme. "Waltz" ▓▌
▓████▓▌ begins with keyboard atmospherics, but by its ▓▌
▓████▓▌ conclusion has become a ferocious frontal assault ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of snare-smacking, power chord-crunching ▓▌
▓████▓▌ metal-meets-prog in triple time; King Crimson's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Red" sounds timid by comparison. "Canon" also ▓▌
▓████▓▌ takes its time, as melodic trombone, guitar, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ keyboard phrases are separated by pauses that let ▓▌
▓████▓▌ synthesized undercurrents rise to the fore. A brief ▓▌
▓████▓▌ world fusion-tinged jam ù approaching the spirit of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the first Empty Suits CD ù concludes the piece, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ featuring stellar piano work that should delight ▓▌
▓████▓▌ fans of harmonically adventurous yet groove-based ▓▌
▓████▓▌ post-bop. The final composition, "Prelude and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Elegy," begins with over five minutes of moody solo ▓▌
▓████▓▌ piano, sketching chords and lines that dissipate ▓▌
▓████▓▌ into silence, before the rhythm section and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ electric keys enter, walking a line between free ▓▌
▓████▓▌ funk and an acoustic piano trio (a truce of sorts ▓▌
▓████▓▌ is declared as the band unites beneath a lovely ▓▌
▓████▓▌ trombone solo that quotes "Stranger in Paradise," ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ending the CD on a somewhat unexpected note of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ lyricism). On the whole, Slay the Suitors is a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ shake-up, wake-up call to arms in which Bobby ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Previte faults classicism for not only stifling the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ artistic impulse, but also for running hand-in-hand ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with deeply entrenched, even violent forces of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ oppression. With this theme to guide him on Slay ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Suitors, Previte is absolutely at his most ▓▌
▓████▓▌ uncompromising, and the resulting music ù like the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ CD cover ù is right on target. ▓▌
