Rodrigo Amado has been very busy lately, with two releases on NoBusiness and this one on Clean Feed. Here's an excerpt from my review: "Rodrigo Amado is a free jazz musician whose sound harks back to the classic saxophonists of the jazz tradition. His thick tone, bluesy in quieter moments and containing an R&B edge, brings to mind players like Gene Ammons and Lockjaw Davis. When things get heated, his tone takes on a grainy quality that reminds me of a young Gato Barbieri... ...Probably the most fascinating part of...the record overall, is the tension of the interaction between Amado and Mota, where Amado’s rational explorations of thematic elements are juxtaposed with Mota’s frenzied finger-picking and bursts of noise. You would expect the bassist and drummer of the RED Trio to be hand-in-glove, and they are, but this is Amado’s and Mota’s show." You can read the full review of Wire Quartet on improvisedblog.

I've posted reviews of these two Clean Feed CDs from bassist Carvalhais on my blog. On Nebulosa the trio is augmented by Tim Berne and on Particula by soprano saxophonist Emile Parisien and violinist Dominique Pifarely. From my review: "...the core group offers an interesting take on the piano trio. In fact, with the sound they generate, “piano trio” doesn’t really come close to describing their approach. I really like the use of space on both recordings; it generates both tension at various points and a sense that the musicians are letting events unfold naturally, though not languidly."
