Search - Paul Flaherty, Randall Colbourne :: Bridge Out

"Flat-out, high energy improv, undulled by candy-ass melodic resolutions or riffic formalism." -- Byron Coley, Forced Exposure Don't call it a comeback. This first release in almost a decade by Paul Flaherty and Randall Colbourne is a reawakening of a collaboration that has lain dormant for too long. Joining forces in the late 1980s, the two New Englanders released over a dozen uncompromising, raw albums of avant-garde jazz. Since then, Flaherty has expanded in the improv, out-rock, and noise camps (with Thurston Moore, Chris Corsano, and Sunburned Hand of the Man) while Colbourne pursued private study. Now, they've created eight compositions of coiling sax lines and polyrhythmic patterns that commemorate the past and celebrate the new.
