Recording information: 08/03/1998/08/04/1998. Propelled by the singularly powerful drumming of Lou Grassi, this unusual trio of trombone, saxophone, and drums/percussion packs a powerful punch that rarely lets up. This is Swell's strongest statement as a leader, as the trombonist brashly swaggers across the court, his big-toned bell belting out rough-edged sounds of joyous tunefulness. Swell reaches back to 1960s Roswell Rudd, as he lets his emotions hang on the slide. The missing bass and piano are rarely a thought as Swell's arrangements and Grassi's tough, rambunctious battle cries fill the gaps. Will Connell is the second horn, and he fills the slot without missing a step. His alto sticks mostly to the middle of the horn, but he matches the trombonist for raw energy. This is Connell's first feature on a recording in eighteen years, so he's had plenty of time to prepare. The CD is a good place to get to know trombonist Steve Swell, who continues to grow as a performer. ~ Steve Loewy
