PRAISE FOR FREE NELSON MANDOOMJAZZ
It's an engaging mix, with Archibald's drums solid and not rock-boring and Sneddon's very capable reed work; to differentiate form the Painkiller reference, she's probably a stronger player than Zorn ... Absorbing and exceedingly well-realized.
Sneddon heads straight outside with a solo that is equal parts Peter Brötzmann and a young John Zorn ... Even when she is playing elongated single notes, her utterance is imbued with emotion ... Free Nelson Mandoomjazz come on strong here and become more compelling with every release.
Free Nelson Mandoomjazz is readymade for musical adventurers who appreciate music which steps toward terra incognita.
Find your black shapeless garment and put it on! Get ready for ceremonies and rituals! Get ready for the experiments and the unforgettable trip into the darkest pleasures of jazz and noise.
If you like your genre-blending to be heavy and viciously elegiac, then Sneddon’s freewheeling skronk, Archibald’s slacker (but never slack) beats, and Stewart’s distorted buzz are not to be missed.
