GREG GOODMAN / HENRY KAISER / LUKAS LIGETI
Heavy Meta
(Ecstatic Yod - E#76/FYPC22) Used CD $15.00
Pianist Goodman, protean guitar improvisor Kaiser and powerful, cross-cultural drummer Ligeti maintain structurally complex and taut inter-relationships as they shift between different paired settings and in and out of trio formation. “Logical Types” is “a bravuro performance from all hands,” according to Byron Coley. “From the strumbly, Magic Band-like opening cadences by Ligeti and Kaiser, through the sequences of equally whacked piano … the piece spurts and blurts with everything from a broken lyricism that recalls Paul Bley to squabbling crescendos that have a density approaching Nancarrow’s machine cycles. This is a ferocious and lyrical bastard of an album.” Sealed.
