Since Time Is Gravity
Boomkat Product Review:
Josh Abrams' Natural Information Society ensemble expands on its seventh album, adding tenor saxophonist Ari Brown.
On their last album, 'Descension (Out Of Our Constrictions)', Natural Information Society invited Evan Parker to flesh out their characteristic bump of guimbri rhythm and chorus of horns. 'Since Time Is Gravity' swaps Parker out for Ari Brown, a Chicago legend who plays squealing tenor sax runs over the ensemble's oddball fusion of jazz and world music. This time we've got Mikel Patrick Avery on drums alongside the iconic Hamid Drake, while woodwind is handled by Nick Mazzarella on alto sax, Jason Stein on bass clarinet and Mai Sugimoto on alto and flute. Josh Berman and Ben Lamar Gay both play cornet, and Lisa Alverado contributes harmoium, with Kara Bershad adding harp, and between them the band make seemingly ramshackle music that only starts to make sense when you study it closer.
As usual it's Parker's rhythmic twangs on both double-bass and guimbri - a guitar-sized North African bass lute - that provide the album with its momentum. The two drummers fill out the rhythm section admirably, with Drake's conga, tabla and tar patterns a particularly memorable enhancement. But it's Brown's horn wails that set 'Since Time Is Gravity' apart from Parker's previous jaunts. A key figure in the Chicago avant garde, Brown has worked with Anthony Braxton, Lester Bowie and most importantly Kahil El'Zabar. Here he brings decades of experience to Parker's peculiar swirls of sound, animating the compositions and improvisations with vivid, swooping wails that accompany a chorus of sometimes six horns.
