Item Description
“Drawing from free jazz, hard bop, funk, dub and post-rock, without resulting in
some featureless muddle or lifeless ‘fusion’, the group’s aesthethic simultaneously
recalls different aspects of early 70s musical experimentation: The Art Ensemble
of Chicago, Bitches Brew/On the Corner-era Miles Davis, and vintage King Tubby.
Isotope 217 don’t merely assemble these diverse elements in one place, but rather
explore the common ground that already underlies them: a shared emphasis on
texture, timbre, space, and groove” - The Wire
“On Isotope 217’s impressive debut Mazurek works wonders alongside Sara P.
Smith’s elastic, earthy trombone, adding particularly Cherry-like phrase fragments
on “Beneath the Undertow” and laying slow tones over busy rhythms. Tortoise
percussionists Dan Bitney and John Herndon weave together acoustic and
synthetic rhythms while bassist Matt Lux holds steady. Parker is rarely in the
spotlight, but his presence is huge-he lurks in the background, subtly coloring
the proceedings, sneaking in a deadly wah-wah groove on “Phonometrics”, the
hardest-funkin’ cut” - Chicago Reader
“Dense, hypnotic grooves clash with improvisation to create something
methodical, yet thoroughly organic” - CMJ
