Arild Andersen - Shimri

On Shimri,musical release floats in suspension,grooves are coyly offered then withdrawn,swing is used sparingly,subtly,making only an occasional splash in the ripples of intimate conversation among the members of Arild Andersen's outstanding quartet.These traits form both the quandary and the appeal of this 1976 LP.Call it the tantric sex approach to jazz.The Norwegian Andersen is the equal of any contemporary bass master,although his cleanly articulated,slow,meaty,throbbing glissandos suggest closest affinity with Buster Williams.Juhani Aaltonen's rich,authoritative,iron-tough tenor has some of Gato Barbieri's snarl,but with the teeth-grinding intensity mercifully backed off.On flute,Aaltonen becomes more impressionistic,drawing on an impressive range of overblowing techniques.Like Andersen,pianist Lars Jansson and drummer Pål Thowsen are a match for any of their peers,certainly any of their mid-'70s ECM label mates.
