Jerome Sabbagh: Plugged In
By Track review of "Jeli""Jeli" is a luminous exponent of the musicians' resolve. With a frisky gait, abetted by the pulsating rhythms, Sabbagh's blustery and fluid lines paint a portrait of a breezy Caribbean seaside resort. Dumoulin's distortion-shaded electric piano and treatments, inject a rough-hewn element into the schema. Here, the musicians meld an edgy overtone into an otherworldly space via linear progressions and a hard-boiled finale, largely due to the keyboardist's off-kilter voicings and keen use of electronics processing. In this light, the quartet abides by a nonconforming stance, where familiar territory is shrewdly shadowed by inventive aberrations.
