Last year, saxophonist Angelika Niescier released The Berlin Concert, a raucous
and unfettered trio session with bassist Chris Tordini and drummer Tyshawn
Sorey. This semi-sequel features Tordini again, but Gerald Cleaver’s behind the
kit this time, and trumpeter Jonathan Finlayson has been added to the
lineup. Niescier and Finlayson lock in side by side for tightly configured
melodies, but their solos are exploratory and fanfare-like at once, and the
rhythm section is every bit as explosive as that on The Berlin Concert;
Cleaver’s snare and tom work can be as avalanche-like as Elvin Jones’, but he
can also be as crisp and precise as Max Roach at times. On the opening “The
Surge,” the staccato blasts of the horns are matched in speed and deftness by
the drums, every step of the way. It’s a ridiculously high-energy, intricate
performance that sets the tone for a rocket ride of an album.
