Now Is
Now Is
features
multi-instrumentalists Joe Giardullo and Joe McPhee backed by the rhythm section of Tani
Tabbal and Mike Bisio in their second recording as a quartet for Drimala Records.
Working in a groove of radical grace that those who have had the fortune of hearing
them live know all to well, their music “conveys the quietude of dawn, the energy of
daylight, and the contemplativeness of night.
Giardullo
focuses on soprano saxophone, and Joe McPhee interjects on pocket trumpet, flugelhorn, and
his own soprano. Balancing Giardullo and McPhee's uncanny communications are Mike
Bisio's sweeping bass and Tani Tabbal's impressionist drumming...establishing the
compositional tone with rhythms that evoke the humidity of a lagoon at dawn, or the
languorous heat of the African desert.
As
Jeff Stockton from AllAboutJazz-New York wrote, "This is music that puts the listener
in an earthy, primordial place, registering on the most instinctive level. Prepare
to be transported."
