Steve Lehman's Camouflage Trio - Interface (Remastered) '2016

Tracks list

When the re-edition of past works of an artist has no immediate commercial
justification, the motivations of a particular label and the musician himself
can only be one of two: to show from where he came from, in order for the
listener to compare recent achievements with old developments, or to give a
broad perspective of his path as a flux of equally considered ideas and
performative realizations, if that same artist dedicated his life to an unified
musical vision. This last context explains the re-release of
“Interface”, the sold out album recorded live in Coimbra, Portugal,
back in 2003, by the now inactive Steve Lehman’s Camouflage Trio. At that
time, Lehman was far from the spectral jazz researches of “Travail,
Transformation and Flow”, but he was already focused on the principles
which brought him to record that masterpiece: to discover in history the
premises for the construction of the future, but doing that very much in the
“present”. “Interface” follows a still valid concept
– it continues, taking it to other consequences, the formulas for the
alto sax-double bass-drums trio debuted by the Ornette Coleman Trio and by a
band of his special liking, Air (Henry Threadgill, Fred Hopkins and Steve
McCall). The enterprise was brilliantly accomplished , and in such a way that
the New York saxophonist and composer wouldn’t be able to create
something like “Dialectic Fluorescent”, his trio CD from 2012,
without that first earthmoving action with Mark Dresser and Pheeroan akLaff.
Haven’t you heard it yet? Well, don’t waste more time and get the
entire picture…
