Reuben Radding has had to take initiative to get his music heard before. Luminescence, http://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3483818 a recording of duets performed with multi-reedist Daniel Carter, was shopped around and ultimately released by AUM Fidelity in 2002; it gave off a do-it-himself scent that carries over to Intersections, the first release on the bassist's own Pine Ear Music label. Radding is plenty busy, performing and recording in combinations of various size and styles (including wicked work with Seattle's Wally Shoup Trio), but Pine Ear is an example of what jazz musicians must do these days in order to get their music heard, rather than have sessions languish in the can. Radding's trio on this CD offers chamber-style interaction, musical delicacy and whispered intimacies
Radding has one of the thickest tones on the double bass in jazz today; his playing relies on notes that carry on and linger horizontally, while his compositions run the scale vertically. This bidirectionality infuses the music with a favorable creative tension, particularly on the hypnotic "Making Certain it Goes On. Oscar Noriega's snake-charmer clarinet seduces on "Siren, a tone poem that features Radding's evocative arco attack and enables Matt Moran to put the "vibe" in vibraphone with his resonating sustained notes.
"Canal and Lafayette picks up the tempo a bit from "Brush, but continues the same mathematically precise playing by Noriega and Moran, while on "Bellevue, Bellevue and Bellevue, Moran's single-note strikes jump from left to center to right, orienting you to the composition even as its repetitiveness locks your attention. "Marginal Way mixes Radding's arco and pizzicato and alternately pairs him up with his bandmates: mirrored by Moran's metallic vibes, in dialogue with Noriega, then back to Moran for a concluding conversation. Drum fans need not fear. Noriega, Moran and Radding create a world of melody and rhythm all their own.

Check the lineup on this recording and you might get a hint about where it is headed. A bass/vibes/clarinet affair often speaks to brainy, logical, and adroit musicmaking. Intersections is indeed passionate, but in measured doses.
Bassist Reuben Radding is equally comfortable in jazz, classical and ethnic music. His duet disc with Daniel Carter, Luminesence http://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3483818 (AUM Fidelity, 2003), was a modern classic. He has also worked with Jack Wright, John Zorn and Dave Douglas. Calling in Oscar Noriega (from Satoko Fujii's NY Big Band) and Matt Moran (from John Hollenbeck's ensembles), Radding brings two soon-to-be-superstars of the new jazz scene to the table. Noriega's Luciano's Dream (Omnitone) was a top ten pick for many critics in 2000.
Radding penned six of the nine tracks. Two are group creations and the closer is a version of Olivier Messiaen's "Dance Of Fury". His bass playing reminds me of Mario Pavone, favoring a warm, rounded tone, and playing off others quite well. That's why he is included in many small group and chamber settings.
Noriega's clarinet playing follows from his saxophone prowess. He chooses, like Moran, to keep things inside, favoring small gestures and phrases. This is very agreeable chamber music. Moran for his part is a perfect guest, ringing his vibes and simmering throughout. On "North he lays down a humming that Radding bows over to great effect.
Interestions bears repeated spins on your psyche.

Oscar Noriega - clarinet
Reuben Radding - double bass
Matt Moran - vibraphone
