Celebrate Kris Davis Week Part 5
this record is a lot of fun for me to listen to because you can compare two different drummers playing with the same trio. cyrille is an older statesman of the avant-guard who has played in the bands of walt dickerson and cecil taylor. on first listens, i might like the approach of geral cleaver on this trio's more recent record, crowded solitudes, a little better just because it's more beat centric than what you hear cyrille play here. still, there's no shortage of style on display here. both this and the more recent trio record are absolutely phenomenal.
