In live performance, N.Y.C. drummer Jim Black can't help but grab a lion's share of the audience attention from his bandmates. Even in ensembles led by such stellar players as Dave Douglas, Tim Berne, Ellery Eskelin, and Chris Speed, his percussive pyrotechnics are simply riveting, and one wonders whether those bandleaders have noticed the many instances when everyone's eyes are locked on the guy back there thrashing away on the skins and adding coloristic flourishes with a host of oddball paraphernalia. Fans of post-bop are among those who sit up straight and take notice; yes, he has caused even trad jazz jaws to drop. Black now has his first CD out on the estimable Winter & Winter label, and he's pulled a bit of a fast one on the jazz crowd -- this skews away from being a jazz record, even an avant jazz record, much of the time. Black sometimes tips his hi-hat to the type of music his jazz-focused fans might expect; there may be some modern creative experimentation as practiced by Berne or Eskelin, but the avant Balkan jazz of Tiny Bell Trio or the Mediterranean-influenced groovefest of Pachora is not much in evidence at all. This is closer to Black's work with Chris Speed's yeah NO or the Human Feel collective, but even rockier, or at least post-rockier, than either of those. And, whether intentionally or not, Alasnoaxis even draws a bit from the annals of prog and art rock, with Icelandic electric guitarist Hilmar Jensson throwing a few Robert Fripp and David Torn influences into the mix now and again (certainly taking this group farther from the territory where one would find Brad Shepik). Wisely, Black seems to understand that an album such as this can't rely on his percussive skills alone; the kinetic excitement of his live performances won't transfer 100 percent to the CD format, so composing and arranging skills will have to come into play. And come into play they do. Black has fashioned a set of 15 mainly short pieces, some even structured like instrumental indie rock tunes. There are explosive, distorted power chords from Jensson, and ominous underlying textures are employed as undercurrents to the conventionally structured pieces as well as stand-alone ambient-flavored tracks, giving the proceedings a sense of both melancholy and unease. While saxophonist and clarinetist Speed (a partner to Black on many projects) has plenty of wild and forceful moments here, Black has also placed him in settings that tend to bring out a plaintive and fragile quality in ...

Sir Joe's professional musical career began like many other rhythm and blues performance and recording artists. He played in local bands and sang in church, in school and on city street corners with some of his friends. He sung lead with the first singing group he joined, “The Knights." This is where he adopted the name “Sir Joe." He was a Knight and so were the other members: Lord Murdock, Count McVay, Duke Barnes, and Sir Walter Lee. Many entertainers adopted a prefix to their name back in the day (Little, Big, Bad, Count, Duke, etc.)Joe's love for music and the stage inspired him to perform and record as much as he could. He formed a recording group “Sir Joe and The Maidens” after most of the knights went into the armed services. This female group with Joe out front recorded a few local hits, performed on local TV and did some personal appearances (mid '60's). Joe later join a popular local band (The EL Corols) and was provided the opportunity to play trumpet as backup for stars like Chuck Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, The Temptations and many other national acts. Members of the El Corols band, including Joe, formed a touring bad called “The Magnificent Seven” and began traveling extensively with Garnet Mimms. The band backed other acts when Garnet was not working. (Hank Ballard, Little Richard, Gene Chandler, and others (late 60's).Joe left the Magnificent Seven to play jazz trumpet with a local group, The Orlando Smith Quintet. It turned out to a complete learning experience for Joe. The group played the entire summer season of 1970 at Club Harlem in Atlantic City, New Jersey. During this time is when Joe felt he was confident enough to step out front with his own band. From this jazz group Sir Joe & FreeSoul was formulated. The name FreeSoul was adopted because of the free spirited music style the jazz and R&B musicians played and the free soul sound was born. Joe mixed his jazzy horn playing with the funky rhythms of the time and added a few socially conscious lyrics and he had his first hit record, “I Got So Much Trouble In My Mind.”Joe's ...
