Celebrating ten years together, The Nu Band: Roy Campbell, on trumpet, pocket
trumpet, flugelhorn and flute, Mark Whitecage on alto saxophone and clarinet,
Joe Fonda on bass and Lou Grassi on drums and percussion remain committed to
spontaneous composition and improvisation and creating music in the
moment. This live album from Paris is an excellent example of their art,
opening with the lengthy "Somewhere over the Seine" has strong swirling
saxophone over a deep bass and drum pocket. Strong exciting collective
improvisation takes hold, with each instrument bubbling to the forefront and
then slipping beneath the waves. Awesome fast trumpet from Campbell early in
the performance gives way to sawing bowed bass and nimble percussion. A section
of trumpet and saxophone duet precedes a subtle trio section of saxophone, bass
and brushed drums. "Bolero Francaise" is another extended improvisation, that
opens is a very cool fashion with Campbell moving to flute and improvising
gently with saxophone and shaken percussion and thick bass. An open and
intimate bass and drums section slowly evolves, building to faster collective
improvisation. After a storming drum solo, the music builds to a very exciting
saxophone trio free and fast, and Campbell returns to trumpet and joins in to
finish things up. "Avant Galoppi" is a shorter fast paced improvisation that
shows the band moving very quickly and responding to each other and the music
as it develops. "The Angle of Repose" develops through an obtuse improvisation
section to a rousing conclusion. This was a very exciting and enjoyable album
which is also quite accessible making this a good entry point for people who
are curious about free improvisation.
