Customer Reviews:
Three jazz outlaws get together and cook up a tasty brew.......2002-12-08
At first glance, this looks like it could never work. You can hardly imagine three more different guys: American flutist Robert Dick, he of the extended technique, wrenching sounds from his instrument just this side of impossible; Irish guitarist Cristy Doran, perhaps the most wide-ranging living stylistic fretman covering everything from Eugene Chadbourne to Burkhard Stangl to Noel Akchote to Derek Baily yet basically working from a rock esthetic (!); and English drummer/percussionist Steve Arguelles, most often seen in the company of that other Brit original, Django Bates.
How to harness all this wild, unruly energy? First off, each player is also an accomplished composer, and all equally share compositional credits (three apiece). So it's not really free improv; it's more melodic & rhythmic nuggets expanded by the band's spontaneous interactions, some of which are quite astounding (e.g., "Der Grune Heinrich," with its Al Caiola-like guitar stylings, "Photosynthesis," with its eerie, horror-movie sensibility somehow way effectively evoked by this unlikely instrumentation, and "Headjoint," with its tricky rhythms and almost country/western sensibility).
Bottom line: A.D.D. Trio is a band to be reckoned with. Their initial outing is just short of astounding. Here's hoping they get the opportunity to continue their unique sonic explorations.
