Few instruments would seem as ill-suited as clarinet, with its
fragile tone and fussy fingering, to the raucous, high-volume
climate of the 1960s avant-garde. Yet Perry Robinson cut out a
niche for himself in that heady period playing with the likes
of Archie Shepp and Carla Bley. That some four decades later he
still has the chops to keep pace with a new generation of
progressives is evident as he steps forward in a feature role
with bassist, composer, and impresario William Parker. The trio
session ù the ensemble filled out by drummer Walter Perkins ù
offers plenty of room for unfettered blowing, and each member
takes full advantage of the format. Robinson has a stiletto
tone that if it evokes any other licorice sticker it would be
iconoclast Pee Wee Russell. Parker has a rich sound that
resonates from the finest grain of his acoustic bass. And
Walter Perkins proves to be exactly the flexible groovemaster
needed for a date that ranges from free blowouts to the
traditional blues of "Blue Flower." The full resources of the
trio are explored most fully on "Fence in the Snow," which
opens with delicate bells and has, before it ends, each member
stretching his capabilities to the point of shouts and sonic
explosions. The second disc finds the trio playing off the
response of a highly sympathetic audience.
