Cortex: Live
By Track review of "Hub"The frontline kick starts "Hub" with a sense of urgency patterned by Johansson's brash lines and shrewdly counterbalanced by Kristoffer Albert's boogying baritone sax notes, paired with the rhythm section's lofty Latin groove. Moving forward, the musicians incorporate a mesmeric sequence of choruses via intense dialogues and let it all hang out as drummer Gard Nilssen and bassist Ola Hayer permeate a resilient structural component that conjures imagery of a super-speed military tank plunging across enemy lines. As the artists' counterpoising of memorable progressive jazz-like movements with either brief or extended sojourns into parts unknown induce one cleverly formulated revelation after another.
