In a remarkable example of uncanny group-think, pianist-keyboardist and RareNoise regular Jamie Saft (Metallic Taste of Blood, Slobber Pup, Plymouth, The New Standard, Red Hill) joins with longtime collaborators Trevor Dunn on bass and Balazs Pandi on drums and master trombonist Roswell Rudd on the astounding, purely improvised Strength and Power. Recorded live in Saft s home studio near Woodstock, New York, this intergenerational offering features the 44-year-old pianist, 47-year-old bassist, 32-year-old Hungarian drummer and 80-year-old avant garde pioneer blending organically, telepathically on a set of conversational music running the gamut of dynamics and emotions.

The revered trombonist, who came up playing Dixieland or traditional jazz music while attending Yale University in the mid 1950s and later made his mark in the free jazz world through collaborations with Cecil Taylor, Archie Shepp, John Tchicai and longtime collaborator Steve Lacy, is a formidable presence on this recording. Whether it s his lyrical playing on the spacious ballad Luminescent, his unrestrained blowing on a surging The Bedroom, his conversational plunger work on Cobalt Is a Divine and the title track or his early New Orleans tailgate-styled testifying on Struttin for Jah Jah, Rudd s trombone resounds with history, humor and humanity. Dunn provides thick grooves and potent contrapuntal lines throughout (particularly when he is paired in a duet with Rudd on Dunn s Falls ) while Pandi propels the proceedings with kinetic backbeats and swinging momentum.
