Elizabeth Millar/Tim Olive/Craig Pedersen, 'Charm Point' CD (845 Audio)

Monday, November 15, 2021, 11:57am (full listen)

Not long after putting this album by three of my esteemed friends in the minimal, highly abstracted free improv world, I knew I would need to hear it again with headphones. Even still, I was pleased to hear the familiar sounds of TO's guitar (reduced as always to the protean "magnetic pickups" role), CP's endlessly challenging trumpet work, and the mysterious remainder of sounds belonging to the most radical player of the group, EM. I was additionally delighted by the short run time of this disc, and almost pop music-like shorter tracks, and will listen to this again soon with better focus before filing away.

Drawing influence from the work of Cecil Taylor, Joane Hetu, Joe McPhee, David S. Ware and John Coltrane, this 7-part suite ranges from full-out intensity to the near-pastoral. Rapid fire trumpet lines, wailing saxophone squeals, punching bass articulation, and duel pummelling drums serve to push and pull against Pedersen’s compositions. This is music that often sounds like it’s falling apart and being put back together, only to fall apart again – held together by the indisputable fact that this band works together as a tight unit.
