Tim Berne: Hardcell Live
by Ty Cumbie
Here are some jazz musicians who get it and get it all. That is meant in both senses: as in being hip to all the freshest angles in the current state of the music, and as in not messing around. Track one of Hardcell Live establishes this immediately. The complex, edgy theme is attacked with gusto ...
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 ...

Tim Berne: The Sublime and...
by Farrell Lowe
From the opening salvo of “Van Gundy's Retreat," it's obvious that Tim Berne's Science Friction ensemble will take no prisoners during this performance, recorded live in Switzerland on April 12th, 2003. Along with his alto saxophone, Berne's group consists of electric guitar, Fender Rhodes-fueled electronics, and drums. This instrumental configuration opens up worlds of new and ...
Tim Berne: The Sublime and...
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. Bringing together the musicians from his bass-less trios (Big Satan and Hard Cell), Science Friction consists of Berne on alto saxophone, Marc Ducret on electric guitar, Tom Rainey on drums, and ...
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 ...
