Something Else!: Quickies: Jake Hertzog, Rudder, Gene Ess, Jeff Albert Quartet:
“The pianoless quartet is quite agile and notes tend not to be wasted. Albert and Moore often playfully joust with the rhythm section … the Jeff Albert Quartet is unique and fun.”
Below is an excerpt of a review of the tune “I Was Just Looking for my Pants.” Click the link to read the whole thing.
Jeff Albert: I Was Just Looking For My Pants –Jazz.com | Jazz Music – Jazz Artists – Jazz News:
“Jeff Albert has a great sense of humor that this thought-provoking, Braxton-esque track is laced with. Albert and saxophonist Ray Moore kick things off with a series of staccato notes that almost seem like they’re ignoring each other, except for that looking over the shoulder thing. Without warning, the full band jumps in and swings like crazy. But hey, don’t get too comfortable, as the swing vaporizes and is replaced by several interconnected rubato passages. The tension is delicious because you just never know when the crazy staccato/swing thing is going to pop back up. Both Tommy Sciple and Dave Cappello do a great job of adding to the horn cacophony with their extended techniques.
Though I can’t imagine Anthony Braxton using the word ‘pants’ in a composition’s title (maybe a pictogram?), I can certainly hear the musical parallel here.”
