Big Satan: Souls Saved Hear
by Rex Butters
The return of Big Satan finds alto saxophonist Tim Berne, guitarist Marc Ducret, and drummer Tom Rainey playing the edgy, astonishing music associated with the reedman's recent outings. Despite Ducret's easy access to loud and rough hues, his work with Berne drains the denseness lodged in Berne's recent Science Friction , more fully revealing the convoluted ...
A Fireside Chat With Tim Berne
by AAJ Staff
Has jazz lost its way? Those that have seen better days have told tales of how there used to be anticipation for the next Miles album. That advanced desire seems all but removed in today's commerically perverted aristocracy. So iconoclasts (e.g., William Parker, Ken Vandermark, Jason Moran, Dave Douglas) are the milk of kindness. An archetype ...

by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Tim Berne's The Sublime And... --his second album for Thirsty Ear's Blue Series--captures the raw energy and improvisational prowess of his working band, Science Friction.

Tim Berne: The Sublime And
by Rex Butters
Tim Berne's Science Friction Band fuses a quartet of radical sound sculptors who leave fields of scorched earth in their wake. The one-time prot'g' of Julius Hemphill continues to forge daring jagged music that blurs borders and leaps genres. With repeated listenings patterns and structures reveal themselves between periods of intensely imaginative improvisations. Ironically, for such ...
Tim Berne's Science Friction Band: The Sublime And
by AAJ Staff
Whatever Tim Berne does in the studio always seems to end up magnified when it appears live on record. The central features of Berne's music--short, irregularly timed unison melodies, obliquely intertwined improvisational lines, and an edgy recklessness--all blow up in magnitude on The Sublime And. So does the size of the recording, which in this case ...
