notes
Composer/musicians' group featuring four multi-instrumentalists:
Timothy J. Madden - trombone, guitars (the Windy City),
David Alt - reeds, piano (San Fran),
and the rhythm section both living in Beantown:
Carolyn Castellano - drums, percussion,
Jane Wang - doublebass, piano, cello
** Winner of Cadence Magazine's Editor's Poll 1997
(list of personal favorites of the Editor) **
"The first piece on this album, "The Black Clown", is a killer: trombone and alto sprint from the starting gate in tight dissonant lines, with bass and drums firmly keeping the pace. Madden struts his stuff well, with exciting oddball lines, and Alt show his originality as both a pianist and altoist. So, too, with Nancy. The brooding "Improvisation in Zero Gravity" and the ponderous "for the death of my friends" have fine moments.
On trombone, Madden plunges and spurts, conjuring up images of abstract expressionism. Wang displays monster chops throughout, on bass, cello, and piano. It is as a pianist that she is most interesting, aggressively punctuating her time with aggressive lurches.
The players in this group can really toot.
Multi-instrumentalists all, they explore a range of sonorities with multiple perspectives."
