Endangered Blood - Faces and Places
This group (Chris Speed, tenor sax/clarinet; Oscar Noriega, alto sax/bass clarinet; Jim Black, percussion; Trevor Dunn, double bass) is a quartet of noteworthy American underground players with plenty of time served in weird-rock groups like Mr. Bungle and Melvins Lite. The vibe here is more straight-ahead jazz, but their whole set was filled with punk-inspired verve. But even their moments of frenzied shredding couldn't obscure the locked-in top-notch interplay that tied together everything they did. Original pieces from their pair of albums were joined by some dips into the standards, from a fairly reverent take on Monk's "Epistrophy" to the blazing Ornette tune they closed with, complete with Black's drum'n'bass blast beats.
