Blacksberg, Daniel -trio-
Perilous Architecture
On 'Perilous Architecture,' Philly-based trombonist Dan Blacksberg leads his trio in a compelling blend of thematic interpretation and freeform exploration. Joined by Matt Engle on bass and Mike Szekely on drums, the trio balances rhythmic freedom with dynamic interplay. Blacksberg's expressive trombone, ranging from graceful tones to growling multiphonics, contrasts beautifully with Engle's deep, resonant bowing and Szekely's responsive drumming. Highlights include the opening track 'Arc Of Circling Bodies' and the energetic 'Scapegrace,' showcasing the trio's engaging mix of melody and improvisation.
