I went to see Tim O last night with his trio Clayton Thomas and Darren Moore. Just thought I should say it was a great gig and his new CD is out and well worth getting. All original tunes very well rehearsed and fresh and exciting music. Its great to hear a band that plays so well together, obviously a lot of hard work has gone into it and I recon the old x factor was there for sure.
Tims alto sound is bloody good too, he's a great player that has really checked out the history of the horn but isn't stuck there.
Get the CD.

there once was a character called Jazz Police,
who liked Joes playing the very least,
his concept was more,
more than ever before,
the inner demons, his plan, was to release.

Can't agree more with the Tim O'Dwyer Trio, it was our good fortune they played here in the Gong to 60 people in the intimate auditorium at Glennifer Brae in the Botanic Gardens. First time I had seen drummer Darren Moore, really impressed. One of the best gigs at the auditorium. That's the reason we go to hear this music... it can be so stimulating.

I'm not sure I can say who wrote this but it's an interesting viewpoint that I do not support. Worth a read though.
The sax trio last night was more in the area of a performance art
group. It certainly had no jazz elements in it at all. They would do
well to score some films with that music as it did have some
sonically dramatic moments. It was more along the lines of what John
Zorn might do, and that isn't jazz either. This type of music is very
popular throughout Europe as it is closer to contemporary classical
composition than jazz.
Although it is not my preference, I do respect them for what they
were trying to do. It is amazing to me to find that a musician would
commit themselves to years of sacrifice and practice just to make
sound effects.

I know who wrote that Tinky and I have to say I am disappointed in how narrow minded it appears.
"It certainly had no jazz elements in it at all". Apart from improvisation, sound concept, expression...
I'm confused by the contradictions and absolutes.
Is he threatened , I don't get it?!?!!

"Apart from improvisation, sound concept, expression..."
Plus, on some pieces, at least, a pretty powerful groove ; lots of energy ; and a high level of communication between the 3 players.

not to mention the technical approaches, timbres, and group sound worlds that are more connected to the lineage of the jazz tradition than to the lineage of modernist sonic abstraction.
