The Free Jazz Collective: Norbert Rodenkirchen / Robbie Lee / James Ilgenfritz - Opalescence (Telegraph Harp, 2018) ****
Norbert Rodenkirchen / Robbie Lee / James Ilgenfritz - Opalescence
I don’t always dick ride this blog but:
Quote:
Opalescence, the debut album of this unconventional trio, features many exotic and strange instruments, all are played in fresh and bold manners. Rodenkirchen plays medieval flutes, baroque flute, Beaudin modern traverso and piccolo, Lee plays the giant contrabass recorder, chalumeau, gemshorn, sopranino saxophone, Beaudin and medieval flutes, glissando Kingma-system quarter-tone flute, F flute and Ilgenfritz focuses on arco playing on the double bass.
...
The rich, idiosyncratic vocabularies of these resourceful musicians is informed, naturally, by medieval music and folk traditions but navigates freely with references to French renaissance composer Josquin, to contemporary music - especially the spectral composers Giacinto Scelsi, Iannis Xenakis and Gérard Grisey, and obviously modern jazz, reminding us that Roscoe Mitchell already include the baroque flute in his arsenal of instruments.
