Dharma - review at AAJ

By Seamus Seoighe, Published: October 13, 2007

Drummer William Hooker and saxophonist Sabir Mateen are true experts of free improvisation. Hooker provides general support and yet still pushes the momentum of a song into new directions with jabs and splashes and rolls, a vivacious undercurrent as the snaking lines of Mateen balance that tightrope between melodic invention and timbre-oriented improvisation, brushing in broad strokes with squeaks and squeals that paint in the gaps between his jagged lines. "Hermitage opens with a pseudo AfroCaribbean beat and "One Just Man contains extended solo improvs with Mateen on clarinet. Only 250 copies of Dharma were pressed, so it may take a bit of vigilance to find, but it is definitely worth owning for fans of the loft-scene niche of free jazz.
