Brilliant work from this well-matched trio of improvisers – a group who definitely smash and grab in a highly sonic way – thanks to cello and electronics from Fred
Lonberg-
Holm, drums and percussion from Paal
Nilssen Love, and alto, tenor, and baritone saxes from the great Dave
Rempis! If you know the players in other formats, you'll know what they're capable of – and if you've heard them as
Ballister before, you'll know that they really seem to set each other on fire – often working with an intensity that's breathtaking, very much at the level that Paal serves up on some of his own work as a leader. Fred uses the cello in a very different way than most other classical and jazz – and Dave, as always, is incredible with his freeform sense of creativity throughout. Titles include "Smash", "Grab", and "Even More Smashing".
