CHRIS CORSANO / PAUL FLAHERTY / GREG KELLEY
Sannyasi
(Wet Paint Music - 3001) CD $10.00
Seven bursts of careful yet flamboyant free improvisation from 2002. Trumpeter Kelley blasts fast, high-register, staccato lines in contrast to Flaherty’s alto and tenor playing, which is less frantic than on The Hated Music. Similar feel, though: intense splashes of bombast sit next to pensive passages, pushing and pulling, jumping moods quickly and logically.
Voices
(Wet Paint Music - 3002) Used CD $5.00 (Out-of-stock)
Forceful, punishing, destructive free improv for solo alto and tenor saxes from 2001, with “some reflective bluesy playing and aggressive low-register honking,” according to Dusted, “But much of Voices consists of tangled, high-pitched runs and screaming multiphonics. Without any other musicians to create the sort of interaction that drives The Hated Music and Sannyasi, it feels like a single [overwhelming and shocking] sound rather than a collection of related ones.”
