An enticing mix in this set, with Karen Ng (on alto) joined by Germaine Liu (percussion) and Mira Martin-Gray (no-input mixer). The latter fit into the soundfield in several interesting ways, adding a substratum of rumbles as well as punching through the high end with occasional squeals. After wrapping things up working behind the scenes at the Guelph Jazz Festival, Ng was clearly in the mood to play and things hit the ground running at the outset here, a punkrock gallop where Liu's occasional sing-shouting fit right in — but equally intriguing is the extended coda that shifts to quieter textures. A delightful surprise, this trio absolutely needs to be called back into existence for further explorations — there were enough cool sounds that this is worth excerpting for a longer-than-usual sample.
[Karen Ng will be at The Tranzac on Sunday night (November 10th) in a trio with Ted Crosby and Daniel Pencer. You can expect Karen Ng to be presenting more music at Wenona on Tuesday, November 19th.]
