The three-night residency of the Michaël Attias Quintet in the 2008 edition of the Coimbra's Jazz ao Centro festival was documented on a live album, Twines of Colesion, to be released in early 2010; and now we have this one, recorded in one afternoon at the same Club in Coimbra where the concerts took place, this time behind closed doors. The session featured the core trio without Tony Malaby's saxophones and Russ Lossing's piano (not quite: Lossing is present on one track of "Renku in Coimbra"). A "wondrous parenthesis in time", says Attias about the opportunity, and that's quite true: this is beautiful music with a strong improvisatory feeling and lots of space for each musician to show their respective and special skills, either individually or in collective interaction. And "collective" is the key word to describe what is in this record: hearing the music you'll understand why Attias chose the name for what has been since 2003 his primary working band - a renku is collaborative form of traditional Japanese poetry, in which the participating poets build a long poem out of each other's words. Over the last six years, this trio has achieved a group sound that draws from a wealth of experience of working together in numerous projects, as well as under the leadership of such mucians as Paul Motian, Andrew Hill, and Anthony Braxton. On this, their second album, Renku plays the music of Lee Konitz, Jimmy Lyons, Hébert and Attias. ~ Clean Feed
AAJ Review
Within the realms of his Renku trio, the reed specialist Michaël Attias deliberately glides towards a contemplative space. His partners in sensitivity are bassist John Hébert and drummer Satoshi Takeishi. In this setting, Attias deliberately confines himself to the alto saxophone, although his sonic results are anything but self-shackled. Often, when Attias is playing around the city he'll be soloing more aggressively or crafting sharply jabbing themes as part of a thrusting frontline. Most of the pieces here inhabit a peaceful zone, allowing maximum potential for individual elaboration. There's a hovering, circulatory motion, with these three playing at the traditionally lyrical end of their range.
Renku is a form of Japanese poetry that usually involves real-time collaboration. These sessions were recorded in Coimbra, Portugal, when his quintet was playing a three-nighter at the 2008 Jazz ao Centro Clube Festival. Although Attias is the leader, he only provides two compositions, with Hébert bringing three, the songbook completed by a tune apiece from Jimmy Lyons and Lee Konitz. The latter's "Thingin'" has Attias capering lightly, Takeishi's brushes glancing lightly around his skins and cymbals, Hébert's bass creeping underfoot.
Abstraction reigns on "Do & The Birds," with Takeishi pottering around his field of gongs and woodblocks. Attias enters over a thrumming bass line, delicately flamingo-legging through their terrain. "Fenix Culprit" makes a hectic dash, Attias squirming out his lines, letting them wriggle seductively past the ears. This track features guest Russ Lossing on piano.
All of the compositions keep their duration down concisely, fomenting direct communicativeness. "Sorry" (the Lyons tune) features outstandingly dexterous bass and drum solos towards its conclusion and all three players are both wiry and supple on "Universal Constant." When Hébert's opening "Creep" is reprised at the disc's close, it recalls an Art Ensemble Of Chicago feeling of mournful yearning. ~ Martin Longley, AAJ
