Badland - Axis Of Cavity
The 50th recording to be released on Bruce’s Fingers is the second album by the Badland trio, whose eponymous first album was released by Bruce’s Fingers in 1996. Since then Mark Sanders has left the group, and the drum chair is now occupied by Steve Noble. This recording was made in 1999, and its delayed release is the result of another label having given backword on an agreement to release it; still better late than never! Unlike the first album, this new Badland recording features no compositions, but contains several cracking improvisations….
Reviews
"The music fair blisters along, all three participants being on pretty fearsome form, and when you've heard it, it stays heard. At the start of the title track Noble lays out his stall: not all the trinkets are revealed at that point, but the intensity and skill with which he crafts the merchandise is immediately obvious. No doubt that he's among the most imaginative, powerful and responsive percussionists around. Groups like this are all about interaction, the on-going group dynamic. Badland keeps everything together but on the edge. Rose explores various ways of making the sax generate sound in addition to simply blowing steadily over a reed to agitate a column of air, and the many timbres, characters and colours the alto is capable of, and sometimes plays acrid straight enough post-bop, too. The alto and Fell's powerful, kaleidoscopic bass whirl around, cannon off and fruitfully liaise with each other and Noble's drums." Barry Witherden JAZZ REVIEW
