Nels Cline, Wally Shoup, Chris Corsano - Immolation / Immersion (2005)

Fans of modern fire-breathing jazz rejoice, for a true meeting & melding of the minds is at play. Immolation/Immersion is the inaugural recording of what will hopefully be more blasts of fury & filigree by 3 leading lights of improvised music w/ guitarist Nels Cline, saxophonist Wally Shoup, & young percussionist-on-the-rise Chris Corsano. Out of the gate, Cline's guitar bubbles & broods, Shoup's gritty sax coughs forth both whiskey-drenched blues & supersonic skree, while Corsano turns energy into light w/ his death-defying drumming.
