Living Daylights
On Living Daylights' third release--another giant step for this improv jazz juggernaut--the reservoir of rhythm flowing through this fearlessly creative sax, bass, and drums threesome runs with infinite syncopated delights. Bassist Arne Livingston has developed a uniquely thrilling chords-and-basslines technique that's opened up entirely new worlds of possibility. The approach has also enabled him to go toe-to-toe with drummer Dale Fanning's seemingly three-armed fountainhead of funk, jazz, and rock licks, not to mention his endless array of ancient African and Middle Eastern-derived grooves.
And like a cake that's expertly layered with icing in all the right places, saxophonist Jessica Lurie weaves her way through their sweet multi-kulti lair with a flair suggestive of a Balkan John Coltrane or klezmerized Sonny Rollins. Just think of her, Arne and Dale as three master musicians dedicated to the art of chemistry, both ancient and modern. |
