Marco von Orelli - Tommy Meier - Luca Sisera - Sheldon Suter: Lotus Crash
BySheldon Suter's brisk and fluid drumming generates quite a bit of pop and nuance. And on works such as "Part of a Light" the band renders spiffy linear progressions, as the bassist and trumpeter traverse a horde of snaky mutations. Yet during other movements throughout the album the band takes its time to explore and reinvent, accomplished with various tempi. Occasionally, they underscore some of Ornette Coleman's free bop escapades, although they alter the pace on "Maiduguri," commencing with a requiem-like gait, moving towards a steady pace, but colorfully contrasted by Meier's bass clarinet phrasings atop the rhythm section's looping ostinato, and consummated by the hornists' bluesy intonations.
The final track, "Wittgenstein," is nestled in the free zone, featuring the soloists' gritty theme-building exercises, heightened with a rampage of sorts, where they thrust matters into 10th gear via a catchy melodic hook. Simply stated, the musicians cover a wide gamut of jazz-induced genre-bending activities sans any hint of filler material.
