jiristepan Pure aggression, tension and physicality.

arbitify Ferocious and inspired. I bought this because of John Dikeman, but the rhythm section is well able to keep up with him.

about

Recorded one afternoon in Amsterdam, The Throes showcases three musicians in full stream of consciousness mode, tearing through ideas and emotions at a breathless pace. The tracks were recorded in chronological order, racing out of the gate with the unrelenting composition ‘Recognitions’ and maintaining a sprint until the closing track. While saxophonist John Dikeman had worked previously with both drummer Nicolas Field and bassist Peter Ajtai, in their home countries of Switzerland and Hungary, respectively, this was the first time the trio had ever joined to perform in Amsterdam, John's home base for the last 10 years. Rather than timidly feeling each other out, waiting for the others to speak, they jump in head first, accelerating through the avantgarde and experimental project. The songs carry elements of angry punk and traditional jazz, challenging our preconceptions of how improvisational composition can take form. The Throes will be available as a digital release on May 10, 2022.

This record at times is the sum of its parts and the strength of its parts. At times, you can plainly tell the player from 100 yards away with your eyes closed, but then you can hear them echoing the ghosts of those who came before them. An incredibly brilliant record from 3 master blasters! pjnewman-364
