Year of the Snake is the second pianoless saxophone trio set issued by ECM in 2012. The first, Andy Sheppard's excellent {|Trio Libero|}, was released in January. While Sheppard's album was deeply focused on lyricism and melodic improvisation, {|Fly|} take a varied approach to the ideas and preconceptions of the saxophone trio itself. All three members -- tenor saxophonist Mark Turner, drummer Jeff Ballard, and bassist Larry Grenadier -- contribute pieces that concentrate on what's possible for the group rather than individual showcases for composition. Fly's members' resumés have compelling intersection points from {|Brad Mehldau|} to {|Kurt Rosenwinkel|}, from {|Enrico Rava|} to {|Paul Motian|} to {|Pat Metheny|}, and all of that experience -- as well as that gained from the many other leaders these players have worked with -- is brought into the group consciousness. The hourlong, 12-track set kicks off with Turner's brief tone poem The Western Lands I. Clocking in at two and a half minutes, it's a rather darkly sketched modern classical piece with shimmering percussion and lovely arco work by Grenadier. It is used as a catalyst for improvisation on four more parts woven throughout the disc. Together they create a guidepost that balances the group's freer concerns and more formal rhythmic and harmonic endeavors. Turner's Festival Tune, which immediately follows, reveals the fullness of their approach, with Fly sounding bigger, fuller, as they invest in and articulate a fluid but recognizable groove. Grenadier's Kingston commences with a sparse, abstract sketch for three of its ten minutes. It's all shimmering call and response, soft angles and spaces, until Ballard kicks it up with breaks and snare, establishing something approaching funk at the four-minute mark. Then the rhythm section fully engages with Turner, who uses the skeletal melody to explore around the propulsive logic. Benj, by Ballard, shifts time-signature gears numerous times in just over five minutes, with illustrative solo work by Grenadier and wonderful altissimo by Turner without a fixed harmonic construction. The title cut, by Turner, offers a gorgeous earful of how fluid and expansive Fly's everything is context sonic universe is, with labyrinthine corners and hidden spaces for harmony and rhythm to assert themselves but never compete for dominance. Of Fly's three recordings to date, {|Year of the Snake|} is the most unusual and beguiling; it unhinges preconceived notions about the saxophone trio with complete freedom minus the chaos of disorder.

Auf ihrem zweiten Album für ECM stellt die Gruppe Fly erneut die Konventionen des Saxophon-Bass Schlagzeug-Trios im Jazz auf den Kopf: Mark Turner, Larry Grenadier und Jeff Ballard teilen sich hier ihre Freiheiten wie ihre Verantwortung in einer demokratisch-organisierten Band aus Gleichberechtigten, die nie in die konventionelle Rollenverteilung in Solist plus Begleiter zurückfällt. Eher besonnen und nachdenklich als beschwörend verwebt die Musik des Trios subtil auskomponierte und improvisierte Anteile, und reflektiert dabei souverän die Jazzhistorie. Die drei international gefragten Amerikaner (Grenadier und Ballard wurden unter anderem durch ihr langjähriges Engagement im Brad Mehldau Trio bekannt, Mark Turner steht derzeit unter anderem auch als Mitglied des Billy Hart Quartets im Fokus) haben alle auch als Komponisten zu ´´Year Of The Snake´´ beigetragen. Eingängiger und spannender Trio-Jazz auf allerhöchstem Niveau. Jazz Musik Musik>Jazz & Blues >Jazz>Modern, Universal Music Vertrieb - A Division of Universal Music GmbH<
