Description

The session unveils an array of evocative styles, including bluesy noir, pungent funk, and austere impressionism. “Multi-Chrome (for Peter Brotzmann, Han Bennink, Fred Van Hove)” opens the record with an ominous vamp that suddenly vanishes, leaving an electro-acoustic cello cadenza in its wake. A serpentine pulse materializes, leading the group through myriad changes before downshifting into a somber tenor and bass duet that precedes the recapitulated theme. The remainder of the album follows similarly unpredictable patterns.
