| | Fieldwork Simulated Progress CD Fieldwork Discography of CDs
The playing of the three musicians (pianist Vijay Iyer, saxophonist Steve Lehman, and drummer Elliot Humberto Kavee) is on a high level and their 11 performances (all originals by one of the players) are each concise. But the problem with this set is that the end results are quite dull. While the musicians play off each other well, their interaction lacks much development and the results are disappointing. No fireworks occur, the originals are forgettable, and the magic that is necessary to make this type of advanced jazz project a success is lacking. Chalk it down to an off day. ~ Scott Yanow

Magnet (p.118) - "Lehman's sour-toned lines, Iyer's block chords and Kavee's skittering funk beats hang together with the structural integrity of an Alexander Calder mobile."
The Wire (p.58) - "[T]heir music is a graceful, yet sturdy sort of chamber jazz, consistently surprising and unique without pressing the issue."
JazzTimes (pp.63-64) - "Fieldwork's rhythmic logic can be immensely involved, but the results are disarmingly concise....Dark yet uplifting, intellectually demanding yet effortlessly funky." Fieldwork Simulated Progress Songs Simulated Progress Review

Simulated Progress music CDs
$13.49 
This exceptional date by Dave Holland Big Band was recorded in 2002 in New York, yet remained unreleased until 2005. As is to be expected, Holland assembled a fine cast of seasoned and young players, some of whom are veterans of Holland's quintets and quartets. These are four saxophones -- two alto, tenor and baritone -- three trumpets and trombones, and vibes as well as bass and drums. They include Chris Potter and Robin and Duane Eubanks, Antonio Hart, Steve Nelson, Josh Roseman, Billy Kilson, Taylor Haskins, Gary Smulyan, Jonathan Arons and Alex Sipiagin. ...

| | Dave Holland Critical Mass CD (2006)
Simulated Progress CD music
$14.19
One word that comes to mind when listening to Critical Mass is generosity. Double-bassist Dave Holland, four decades into his career, could certainly be forgiven for taking the word "leader" at its literal meaning, calling all the shots and keeping his musicians at bay. But that's not what he's about, and at any given time Critical Mass could just as easily have been credited to saxist Chris Potter, trombonist Robin Eubanks, vibist/marimbaist Steve Nelson, or drummer Nate Smith. Each player is provided with ample moments in which to take charge, and not fleeting, gratuitous moments but rather significant chunks of solo/lead space. Holland's belief in sharing extends to the area of composition as well. Each bandmember contributes one piece to the album (Holland does claim the other ...
