Three releases, all featuring trumpeter-composer Jaimie Branch, and all given extra and unwelcome - piquancy by her sudden death in late August aged just 39; and all demonstrating not just Branch's extraordinary instrumental talents, but also her openness and fecundity, and her ability to judge the moment perfectly.
Of the three, the Anteloper release would have been the closest to her heart. Anteloper were (one presumes they can no longer exist as a functioning unit) a duo, featuring Branch and drummer Jason Nazry. On this, their debut album (but third release, following the Tour Beats and Kudu EPs), they teamed up with producer-guitar whizz Jeff Parker and Branch's old Fly Or Die bandmate Chad Taylor. This is a very different project from FoD, however - for all their angularity and unruliness, FoD were an acoustic jazz band; Anteloper were electric (quite literally), blending 1970s Miles with Autechre's electronica, Tortoise's post-rock, plus the woozy end of trip-hop, with disco thrown into the mix for good measure.Branch put it better than I ever could: "We're improvisers first and we're bringing 'moment music' into the other zones of hip-hop and electronic music, drum-machine music, sound-system culture..."
Now, especially, Pink Dolphins is a disconcerting experience, difficult to describe, as it constantly moves in unexpected directions (sometimes unexpectedly catchy, as on the single 'Earthlings'). One can't help thinking how much more this force of nature had to give. Judging from this compelling album, a whole lot more.
On See You Out There, she's a guest (Gisler has been a frequent collaborator since the Zurich Concert album of 2020), but her presence makes a **** of an impact: the lengthy opener '**** On The Run' is quite simply one of the best things she ever did, a frantic, straight-outta-the-traps workout that the rest of the album, while good, never quite measures up to.
Chicagoan wunderkind Eli Winter, meanwhile, is an astonishingly gifted guitarist who is confident and unselfish enough to allow his collaborators to shine. 'Dayenu', which features Branch on fugelhorn, may well be one of the very last things she ever recorded. But mourning for the loss of one great talent should not blind us to the rise of another - and on this evidence, Winter is certainly one to watch.

Troisième CD pour le trio du guitariste suisse Dave Gisler (avec Raffaele Bossard, à la basse et Lionel Friedli à la batterie) qui, après avoir déjà invité la trompettiste Jamie Branch sur le second, convie cette fois le grand ténor David Murray. Le quintette démarre “pied au plancher” et maintient la cadence sans essoufflement. Les thèmes-prétextes basiques renvoient à une certaine violence free jazz des années 60/70, la guitare stridente et souvent saturée amplifiant le niveau sonore. Si la trompettiste Jamie Branch s’en donne à cœur joie dans ce déferlement d’énergie, David Murray semble un peu perdu... jusqu’à l’ultime ballade bluesy où son jeu powerful prend toute sa dimension.

Dave Gislers gitarristische Experimente sind auf Intakt Records gründlich dokumentiert „See You Out There" ist das achte Album mit dem Schweizer Label, auf dem der Avant-gardist mitspielt und sein drittes als Bandleader. Neben der experimen-tierfreudigen Trompeterin Jaimie Branch, die bereits auf seinem Live Album „Zurich Concert" gastierte, leistet Saxophonist David Murray dem Dave Geisler Trio hier für zehn trotzige Stücke Gesellschaft. Die Gruppe schafft es, selbst einen einfachen Blues wie „Better Don't **** with the Drunken Sailor" (das Stück wurde bereits auf dem letzten Album vorgetragen) mit so viel Ach und Krach auf die Bühne zu bringen, dass es einem die Sprache verschlagen mag. Von der Sägezahnwellen-Gitarrenverzerrung auf „The Vision", dem geräuschhaft vor sich hin dümpelnden Titeltrack und dem herrlich polternden „Get It Done" ganz zu schweigen. Nichts für zartbesaitete Gemüter, denn von zarten Saiten kann hier nicht die Rede sein. David Torn Anhänger allerdings sollten begeistert sein.

Wie het Dave Gisler Trio de voorbije herfst live aan het werk zag met Jaimie Branch, wist het al: dit is een knoert van een match, met de eigengereide trompettiste die perfect in de schoot van het Zwitserse trio past. Vlak na die concert-reeks trok het kwartet de studio in met sax-legende David Murray voor een album dat nog meer gechargeerd klinkt dan Zurich Concert (2020). Een paar oudere stukken worden aangepakt met hernieuwde energie, de rest zijn variaties op knetterende elektriciteit. See You Out There en High as a Kite zijn galmende rustpun-ten tussen explosieve brokken dynamiet met het mes tussen de tanden. What Goes Up is ziedende rock-'n-roll, opener **** on the Run een intentieverklaring van jewelste. Soms verdwijnt de nuance onder al het geweld en de effecten, maar deze viriele schop onder de jazzreet wil je niemand ontzeggen.
