Trumpeter John McNeil and tenor saxophonist Bill McHenry have
formed a new quartet. On this, their second gig, expect to hear
a wide variety of styles and improvisations that challenge the
spell-checker in all of us. Even without a chordal instrument, the
band produces a range of color that constantly surprises. Boring,
they are not.

MARK HELIAS; OPEN LOOSE
Mark Helias, bass;
Gerald Cleaver, drums;
Tony Malaby, sax
|
|
"The trio's name "Open Loose" refers
not only to its musical style, but to Mark
Helias' compositions which are written with
plenty of space in them, and are designed to
be interpreted openly and loosely. They allow
for seamless transitions between composed
passages and improvisation, never easy to
achieve.
This threesome fully exploits the creative
possibilities of the compositions, never
opting for a clichéd theme-solos-theme
format. The group has the knack of starting
with a rather loose - sometimes even
ramshackle - piece and slowly allowing it to
evolve until it emerges as a tight theme.
Open Loose has been touring for six
years and has released three CDs."
