The Speed of Change - Mike Reed's Loose Assembly
It's been a very good year for drummer Mike Reed. His quartet People, Places & Things earned widespread praise, and he's finally getting some of the recognition he deserves for his behind-the-scenes work programming the Pitchfork and Umbrella music festivals. A little lost in the shuffle was The Speed of Change (482 Music), the second record from his quintet Loose Assembly.
Though the compositions are all excellent--Reed's lovely, brooding melodic sketches, a gem by Ethiopian vibraphonist Mulatu Astatqe, Max Roach's "Garvey's Ghost," with guest Nicole Mitchell taking the vocal role Abbey Lincoln filled on the original--Loose Assembly gets its juice mainly from its sharp brand of ensemble interplay. Alto saxophonist Greg Ward and cellist Tomeka Reid provide top-notch front-line melodic action, alternating between unison passages and loosey-goosey exchanges, but most of the best things about the music are more subtle: vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz sculpting complex harmonic matrices; bassist Josh Abrams roping the pulse into taut, knotty phrases; Reed scraping out skittery accents and startling tone colors. The band never falls into merely vamping behind a soloist--rather its entire performance is like a single improvisational act, a surprisingly coherent statement made by five people speaking at once. A trio of Abrams, percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani, and keyboardist Jim Baker opens
