The Village Voice: Music: One, Two, Many Concepts by Tom Hull

I like this turn of phrase by Tom Hull in the Village Voice article One, Two, Many Concepts:

Like Vandermark's, Nilssen-Love's jazz chops assume a rough-hewn physicality that derives as much from rock

"rough-hewn physicality" - I'll have to use that some day. There's certainly a rock element to Nilssen-Love's playing (perhaps in terms of its emotional immediacy), but I would say that that is only the edge or varnish given to a solid Elvin Jones/Rashied Ali (perhaps) foundation. In any case, he's an awesome drummer.

Apart from Atomic's Boom Boom and Feet Music, I also have the Dual Pleasures mentioned in the article (but have yet to listen to it beyond the first track) and hope to get an intriguing-looking new trio CD with Bugge Wesseltoft.
