The new album from this 15-year-old Scandinavian free-jazz quintet captures their shrewdly varied take on both the paint-stripping and lyrical varieties of free-improv very well. Drummer Hans Hulboekmo creditably replaces the remarkable Paal Nilssen-Love, while the frontline chemistry of saxophonist Fredrik Ljungkvist and trumpeter Magnus Broo exhibits its familiar volatility, and pianist Håvard Wiik and bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten steer a steadfast course through the melee. Some pieces open with glistening piano meditations, warmly harmonised, Cool School counterpoint or pure, long-tone trumpet figures, then turn to collective-improv tussles and sharply punctuated group motifs; elsewhere there are arco-bass scufflings and skimmings that become slow-march murmurs; the title track is a hard-boppish swinger with a deliciously byzantine melody and a string of taut solos; and A MacGuffin’s Tale is a fine vehicle for Ljungkvist’s resourcefulness on clarinet. Free-jazz and old-school swing rarely sound more compatible than they do here.
