Bassist Adam Lane has been quite active of late, releasing three albums on the
past few months, in addition to playing with his Full Throttle Orchestra. On
this album, he is in the excellent company of Darius Jones on alto saxophone
and Vijay Anderson on drums. This is the first album Lane has done to date that
was totally improvised in the studio and it provides the group with a large
canvas on which to create their music. This format definitely plays to their
strengths as they display on “Stars” where whirlpools of sound descend like
wild dervishes with saxophone and bowed bass leading the charge. "The Great
Glass Elevator" moves dynamically through raw blowing and subtle bass playing,
while “Run to Infinity” develops from a cautious beginning to a torrid
collective improvisation. “Apparent Horizon” develops patiently at length,
featuring billowing saxophone, rolling drums and thick elastic bass. There is a
spacious midsection fraught with tension, waiting for the finale which is a
long blowing emotive saxophone and drums. “Bioluminescence” adds subtle
electronics to the mix, as if the music had begun to glow itself. This is an
experimental track that works well, with bass and drums building an excellent
foundation. Raw saxophone weaves through the maelstrom, deep and
powerful. “Light” finishes the album with a fast paced trio improvisation,
developing very nimble bass and drums with flurries of saxophone gliding
overhead. This was a gutsy move for Adam Lane to develop a totally improvised
LP but it works very well. The musicians are locked in deeply and support each
other throughout.
