Here is a trio that I look forward to seeing on stage. The Ab Baars Trio, Ab Baars is on saxophones and clarinet, Wilbert De Joode on bass and Martin van Duynoven on drums. Either three musicians from the Danish scene. Lovers of Misha Mengelberg, but also Han Bennink necessarily know the name. Reiterating person as the art of saxophone trio, bass, drums, the three men are having a field day in wanderings that make sense. In this directory consists of ten short pieces more or less (total time 39 minutes), you will hear a libertarian jazz not far from exceptional. Ab Baars, for lovers, is also part of the legendary collective ICP Orchestra. The three men have known for over twenty years. Tours, recordings, but we hear most often club (for an audience of insiders and curious) rather than at festivals. Slate Blue gives especially to listen to a collective sound that series of conventions, and where the rhythmic movement is predominant. Curled to Tony Williams (Steen), ternary rhythms (Water), breeches-traps hallucinating (Hout and Oestermes). The unit is compact and homogeneous and is a good example of a jazz become. The titles speak for themselves, they revolve around some elements of nature. Tour poetic turn (Steen), intriguing (Kauw), but still tasty for our hearing buds, this opus which is distributed to 300 copies worldwide (yes, jazz, it is not necessarily to play before an audience three thousand people ...), will be available on the website of the musician. Otherwise, for others, know that it is listening on some streaming sites. Finally, a last word. If Slate Blue does not explore totally present each theme (which is in itself a little regret) is brevity, essentially breaks tempo and surprises prevail. Between lyricism, poetry, and surprise is definitely an album to listen to, especially here to discover a group on stage. A word.
