Editorial Reviews
Steven A. Lowey - Cadence Magazine 11/98
"Between The Lines may be the--- sleeper of the year. Why doesn't a label pick up the group and run with it? Clearly a contender for my top-ten list.
Product Description
The brainchild of reedman composer Fred Hess, BCME came into existence in 1982. In 1978, Hess attended the Creative Music Studio in Woodstock, NY to study the compositional techniques of the aforementioned composers. After moving to Boulder, Colorado in 1981, Hess found a group of like-minded musicians who became the core BCME members. In early 1982, the ensemble began concertizing,while keeping a regular rehearsal meeting, meeting every Sunday at 11AM. This continued until1990, when the ensemble recorded its, then, final projects, heard for the first time on this CD. During its decade of activity, the BCME often collaborated with artists from other disciplines, structuring improvisations to include calligraphy, storytelling, dance, mime, and even Japanese flower arranging into its vision of a user-friendly performance practice. This central element, a spontaneous music making environment, is present in all their music. Whether working with visual structures (which create controlled textures full of instrumental color), or, specifically composed materials (integrating jazz elements with the improvisatory techniques usually associated with the later twentieth-century classical ensemble), the BCME remains a fruitful example of a new kind of musical vision - the Creative Ensemble.
These selections represent the sessions recorded at Denver Center Media in 1988 and 1990. The 1988 date was released on vinyl LP in 1989. While the early work of the BCME focused on texture and collective improvisation, the later period was marked by experimentation with pre-existent forms, using Blues ("Dead Man Blues,") song form ("Our Time,") and even the Balinese gamelon ("Lou Bop,") as vehicles for arranged improvisation. The sensitivity to detail that is so evident in the ensemble passages is balanced by some wonderful solo work by all concerned.

Album Description
"As clean and airy and sophisticated and disciplined as post-modern progressive jazz gets." - JAZZTIMES
Ralph Alessi has received a lot of praise over the past fifteen years--as a sideman for Steve Coleman, Uri Caine, Don Byron, and more--but his career as a leader is just beginning! Through Ravi Coltrane is the son of Alice and John Coltrane, his successful career is based not on his name but on his fully rounded sound and individual way of playing.
Customer Reviews:
a review that uses musical terms pretentiously and with probable inaccuracy.......2007-04-03
For a trumpet-led quartet with a lyrical sound and traces of classical influence, try Ralph Alessi and his group This Against That.
While Alessi has played as a sideman for Steve Coleman (alto sax), Uri Caine (piano) and Don Byron (clarinet), among others, *Look* is his fourth album as a leader. In several compositions here, Alessi demonstrates a preference for ostinato and diminuendo; for example, in "Hands," two repeated measures gradually decelerate at the finish to a slow fade.
On four of the 12 tracks, Ravi Coltrane (tenor sax) joins Alessi; in the title tune, their two horns interplay sinuously over Andy Milne's insistent piano. On "Lap Nap," Milne contributes staccato piano notes that transform into a funky solo. Drew Gress uses his bow to coax eerie mourning sounds out of his bass on "Platform Velvet."
On this Between the Lines release, though, Alessi's creative oscillations with Coltrane are what to *Look* for. (If you download just one track, make it "Old Beady Eyes.")
With Look, his second outing featuring his band This Against That . . ........2007-03-11
Ralph Alessi has found his métier. Alessi has always displayed huge chops and an interesting concept. The problem has been that he has struggled to find the right approach to solving the basic jazz enigma: how to make a genuine contribution to the music without being either too weird (Hissy Fit) or too esoteric (Vice & Virtue, Phfew). With his new quartet, This Against That, he's landed on just the right format to optimally display his considerable talents, and his new disc, Look, has all the earmarks of an instant classic.
His band is certainly a formidable one. Let's start with pianist Andy Milne, a player of whom I have only slight knowledge. The Canadian-born, Brooklyn-based pianist and keysman not only leads the Nu Jazz band, Dapp Theory, but has played extensively with Steve Coleman and other M-Bass Collective members, Ravi Coltrane, and Carla Cook. I really love his piano concept: very mysterioso/minimalist, but capable of stunning solo statements. Check out his work on "The Tooth Fairy and Pistol Pete" to see what I mean.
Bassist Drew Gress certainly needs no introduction to anyone at all familiar with cutting edge jazz. A member of the brilliantly quirky Claudia Quintet, lead artist on the widely praised outings 7 Black Butterflies and Spin and Drift, as well as five other discs, contributor to the music of artists as diverse and renowned as Tim Berne, Don Byron, Uri Caine, Bill Carrothers, Fred Hersch, Tony Malaby, Mat Maneri, Ben Perowski, and others, Gress is among the foremost practitioners of his instrument alive today. One of the things he brings to this music is a thorough knowledge of both classic and "out" jazz, plus the ability to move with perfect naturalness in each. His solos are masterpieces of economy and imagination.
This is certainly Mark Ferber's greatest outing. Given room to stretch out, he's all over his kit, now driving, now providing coloration, now percussively shaping everything around him. I also like how up-front he's recorded. Really, he sounds like about 10 great Downtown drummers all wrapped up into one, but still maintaining his own distinct approach and personality.
Leader Alessi has matured greatly since I last heard him (on Hissy Fit, I think), especially in the areas of band leadership and composition. He's always had a wonderfully warm yet dry trumpet sound, thoroughly modern, but steeped in the history of the instrument. For me the high point of his playing on this disc come in the four pieces that include Ravi Coltrane on tenor sax. Their quirky, edgy, harmonically daring interaction always intrigues even as their incredibly precise intonation astounds. Yet there's nothing either aridly academic or out-for-out's-sake unapproachable about their playing: just joyously eccentric conversation unfailingly listenable.
But it's the compositions (all by Alessi) that make the strongest impression. Far removed from both the hackneyed approach of wallowing in past jazz glories (especially, God forbid, hard bop) and superficially appropriating hare-today-goon-tomorrow pop-music ephemera (hip-hop, lounge, house), this music rings with hugely original and completely diverse compositional strategies, as if Tin Hat met the Claudia Quintet.
Certainly the finest music ever purveyed by that generally avant-garde label, Between the Lines, and some of the most provocative, listenable, and endearing music of the new century. This is what jazz is all about: forward-looking, but rooted in the past; edgy, but accessible; brilliant, but friendly. Absolutely not to be missed.
