Об исполнителе (группе)
Many contemporary free jazz drummers take a loose, largely coloristic approach; Lou Grassi, on the other hand, is a more tightly wound, visceral player, his rhythmic vocabulary a compendium of muscular and unambiguous polyrhythmic ideas. Grassi's style is more proactive than reactive; he interrelates within a free jazz ensemble in much the same way a good bop drummer does -- commenting upon the contributions of his bandmates, yet maintaining a rhythmic independence that ultimately determines the overall direction of the improvisation. His forte is an ability to raise and maintain a level of excitement in a free context, a quality that helped make Grassi one of the better (and busier) drummers on New York's free jazz scene in the late '90s and early 2000s. Grassi began playing drums at age 15. Upon joining the military in the mid-'60s, he attended the Navy School of Music in Norfolk, VA. He served in the 328th U.S. Army Band until his discharge in 1968. Grassi went on to earn a bachelor's degree in music at Jersey City State College, where he studied percussion with Nick Cerrato. In 1974, Grassi was awarded a National Endowment of the Arts Fellowship that allowed him to study privately with drummer Beaver Harris, who would exert a strong influence. Grassi also studied arranging and musicianship with valve trombonist Marshall Brown. Grassi had begun experimenting with free improvisation while in the Army. He developed this aspect of his music more fully in the early '70s, working in several mixed-media projects, one of which included singer Sheila Jordan and bassist Jimmy Garrison. From the late '70s until the early '90s, Grassi was largely absent from the free jazz scene. During that period he played other forms of jazz for a living, from ragtime and Dixieland to swing and bebop. In 1984 he formed the Dixie Peppers, a swing- and Dixieland-oriented sextet with which he would continue to perform through the end of the '90s. He also toured with ragtime pianist Max Morath in the mid-'80s. Grassi returned to playing free jazz on a regular basis in the early '90s. His collaboration with the German pianist Andreas Boettcher led to a pair of albums. In 1994, Grassi became involved with the New York City-based Improvisors Collective, a loose organization that gathered many of the city's most accomplished free jazz musicians for annual festivals and occasional concerts. Grassi's portion of the 1995 festival was recorded and released by Cadence Jazz as Pogressions. That ensemble (known as the Po Band and consisting originally of Grassi, Herb Robertson on trumpet, Burton Greene on piano, Steve Swell on trombone, Perry Robinson on clarinet, and the late Wilber Morris on bass) would subsequently record several times more for the CIMP label. Subsequent "Po" albums included special guests: PoZest featured longtime Sun Ra alto saxophonist Marshall Allen, Joy of Being (2001) featured former Art Ensemble of Chicago saxophonist Joseph Jarman, and ComPOsed (2002) featured Danish saxophonist John Tchicai. Grassi's also recorded for CIMP and other labels as a sideman with trombonist Roswell Rudd, saxophonist Rob Brown, guitarist Bruce Eisenbeil, and singer Sheila Jordan, among others. Grassi still plays Dixieland and swing to make a living, but free jazz is his primary creative outlet.

Об альбоме
Lou Grassi has at least five distinct working groups that he keeps afloat: The PoBand, a Free Jazz band dedicated to spontaneous ensemble playing, as documented on their debut release PoGressions (Cadence Jazz Records 1062); The Lou Grassi Quartet/Quintet, which works in the mainstream of Hard Bop; The Dixie Peppers, which focuses on the Traditional Jazz genre; The Spacetime Swing Band, which explores a hybrid of inside and outside music; and, finally, The Saxtet which, with its three piece reed section, is able to evoke the ensemble body of a big band section, while having the flexibility and focus of a small group. The Saxtet also encompasses some of the best elements of all his other groups: rhythmic counterpoint from The Dixie Peppers; Hard Bop ambience from his Quartet/Quintet, which often marks the heads; from The Spacetime Swingband comes the element of contrasted and cross-pollinated joy and humor; and from the PoBand, the freedom to allow solo lines to develop organically and to stretch beyond predetermined parameters.
As a hybrid, The Saxtet brings together various disciplines while allowing plenty of space for individual statements. And what wonderful statements are made here: inspiring, world-class expressions of song and soul.
This is the debut recording of The Lou Grassi Saxtet, but all its members have been on the scene for some time. Bassist David Hofstra began working with Lou around 1980 and may be best known for his long association with Phillip Johnston in two of Phillip's long-running groups: The Microscopic Septet (circa 1980-92) and Johnston's current band, Big Trouble, which began in 1990. Joe Ruddick is also a member of Big Trouble, and in the `70s issued three ambitious recordings on the Joe's Smashing Records label. Chris Kelsey is best known outside of the New York Jazz scene for the duo he co-leads with trombonist Steve Swell, a group whose remarkable abilities can be heard on Observations (CIMP 108). The Saxtet gives the listener a chance to hear these individuals in a fresh light and a new setting.
In addition to all this improvisational talent, there is solid composition, adding further personality to a concert of many rewards. Lou Grassi's Saxtet shows the compatibility of form and function in a brilliant release.
