A Josh Cole Quintet - [set 2, 2nd piece excerpt]
I like it when musicians present a group with the indefinite article at the start of the name — an implication that the audience is witnessing just one of many possibilities that could have emerged on this occasion. This particular ad hoc quintet, convened for some improvisations while Kind Mind takes a month off in its usual slot in Josh Cole's Tranzac residency, took the rarely-seen step of inviting another bassist (Rob Clutton) along for the ride, and surrounded them with sounds from Jim Lewis (trumpet), Ryan Driver (analog synth) and Blake Howard (blanket filled with cymbals). Those ingredients combined for some fine squeak-clomp as sounds waxed and waned, those two basses working together underneath it all.
