Jordan, Kidd/alvin Fielder/peter Kowald
Trio And Duo In New Orleans (2cd)
'Trio And Duo In New Orleans' features tenor saxophonist Kidd Jordan, drummer Alvin Fielder, and bassist Peter Kowald in powerful free jazz sessions. The 2-CD set includes a 2002 trio session with Kowald, showcasing intense, spontaneous interplay, with Jordan's commanding sax and Fielder's responsive drumming. Kowald shines on bass, especially with his bow, creating a dynamic exchange. The studio session from 2005 is the standout, with Jordan's passionate, personal style and Fielder's tight, colorful drumming. The album's centerpiece, 'Duo Flight,' is full of energy, while live cuts from 2012 add a lively finish to this engaging set.
