OUI092: douBt / never pet a burning dog
With moods and registers ranging from heavy-rock riffs to cosmic grooves to more lyrical and pastoral flavors, douBt's debut release, Never Pet a Burning Dog, is amazing in its' intensity and magnitude. This new power electric jazz trio -- featuring Alex Maguire (Hatfield and the North; Elton Dean), Michel Delville (The Wrong Object, Machine Mass Trio) and Tony Bianco (Dave Liebman, Machine Mass Trio) -- combines the energy of rock, the spirit of free-jazz, and post-Canterbury Nu Jazz lyricism.This aggressive, ambitious record also features a special guest contribution from Canterbury legend Richard Sinclair [Caravan; Hatfield & The North; National Health; Phil Miller & In Cahoots (1982-84)] on vocals and bass. Aggressive and ambitious, this album packs a wallop -- especially if one considers that this CD consists exclusively of first takes recorded live in the studio!Despite being rooted in traditions that inspired the members' respective careers, Never Pet a Burning Dog is decidely contemporary and one of the most forward-looking electric jazz albums released in a long time. ... And, as one might expect, it sounds unlike anything before.
