It must be difficult for saxophonist Rich Halley to find a collaborative horn man who can keep up with him, who can match his free jazz ferocity and full-throttle momentum. Difficult, but not impossible. In the midst of three fine trio efforts for Louie Records, he offered up one quartet outing in which the saxophonist teamed with cornetist Bobby Bradford—best known perhaps for his work on Ornette Coleman's 1971-recorded The Complete Science Fiction Sessions (Columbia Records, 2000)—to produce 2003's The Blue Rims, his finest outing for the label—a stellar and riotous two horn blow-fest. Rich Halley had met his front line match, with bracing, earth-shaking results.
Halley has found another horn man who can keep up with his steroidal attack in trombonist Michael Vlatkovich, on Requiem for a Pit Viper. Like Halley, Vlatkovich is bold and virtuosic and player, and no stranger to the trio concept—unusually, for a trombonist. His superbly freewheeling Queen Dynamo (Origin Records, 2004) placed him front and center with bass and drums, proving that the big horn isn't necessarily a low end harmony tool for larger ensembles.
Requiem for a Pit Viper opens with the roaring title track, as Halley and Vlatkovich bounce brash ideas off of each other, creating muscular melodic moments augmented by Clyde Reed's powerful bass and Carson Halley's heavy metal drumming. For free jazz, it is surprisingly catchy; a madcap army march that seems designed to pump up a maniacal troop force for the assault of enemy territory, where the plan is to take absolutely no prisoners. Reed and Carson Halley tighten the sound behind Vlatkovich's contained—relative to the opening salvo—trombone solo, leading into Reed's guitar-like bass turn, before sax and trombone blow back in, brasher than ever.
Halley's artistry—in spite of his muscularity and moments of raw, screaming power—can also be quite restrained, in a searing, bebop, too-hot-to-touch-the-horn way. His extended solo on "Snippet Stop Warp" could fit in the middle of a free-swinging version of an up-tempo Great American Songbook standard without sounding too "out there," with some very intricate, even subtle, but always vivid moments.
The brief "Maj" sounds particularly feral, with Halley and Vlatkovich giving the impression of a grizzly bear and a badger circling each other in growling, snarling contemplation of a fight to the death, until they call it a standoff and wind down to fight another day. "Wake Up Line" is eight minutes of serious bombast underlain by an implacable rhythm—Reed rock solid, Carson Halley doing an energetic rattle and roll.
The music's appeal is its unusual and engaging mixture of structure and freedom—sometimes very wild freedom. More than a decade into an always gripping effort to perfect his singular, adventurous, often torrid free bop small ensemble sound, Rich Halley sounds supremely-inspired by the company he is keeping, and he may have made his best CD to date with Requiem for a Pit Viper.
