| | Kammerflimmer Kollektief Incommunicado CD Kammerflimmer Kollektief Discography of CDs
For Incommunicado, Kammerflimmer Kollektief brainchild Thomas Weber brought his experimental electronic music out of the bedroom to create a live album that brings together jazz, orchestral, and post-rock. Weber gave bandmates copies of Kollektief's debut, Mäander, and had them study the tone of the songs. The band then reinterpreted them live using guitar, strings, upright bass, and drums. The result is an album of improvised, nearly unstructured songs that, like Tortoise, find the meeting place between John Coltrane and Brian Eno. Tracks like "Nactwach" meander through a jazzy experimentalism, washing over the listener with distorted feelings and bruised and at times uplifting ambience. ~ Charles Spano

Incommunicado album
 $12.85 
The Organ's 2002 debut EP Sinking Hearts was more captivating than most of that year's full-length releases: over the course of just 15 minutes, the band crafted chiaroscuro meditations on falling in and out of love that were just as light and jangly as they were dark and brooding. The EP was a promising beginning, and Grab That Gun, the Organ's first album, builds on that promise by delivering more appealingly moody music instead of reinventing the band's sound. It's tempting, initially, to be slightly disappointed that the Organ didn't broaden its sonic territory. But, even though the music remains remarkably focused, Grab That Gun proves that the band has ...

Tenor saxophonist Bruce Eskovitz has concentrated more on his career as a jazz educator then recording as a leader, but his relatively infrequent trips into the studio are quite enjoyable. An earlier quintet session with pianist Bill Mays produced a terrific tribute to Sonny Rollins (One For Newk); this time it is just the two of them in a series of stimulating duets that prove to be musical conversations. Eskovitz has both a fat tone and a gift for melody, while Mays consistently amazes with imaginative lines to stimulate the tenor saxophonist. The rich but tense "Invitation," a slowly savored "Like Someone in Love," and a dreamy interpretation of "My Romance" (with an unforgettable introduction by Mays) are among the brilliant arrangements of standards on the date. They are also equally successful in their approaches to classic jazz compositions, including a buoyant "Joy Spring," Charlie Parker's playful "Blues for Alice," and a peppy treatment of Hank Mobley's "This I Dig of You." Mays' "Tease for Two" (obviously a reworking of "Tea for Two") is jaunty and a lot of fun; Eskovitz's two originals salute Sonny Rollins ("Just in the 'Newk' of Time") and Lester Young ("Prez"); both works capture the spirit of the honored musicians without resorting to emulating them. This CD is a pure delight from start to finish. ~ Ken Dryden
