"Knoxville" documents a live performance by this nascent Trio, recorded on February 7th, 2009, at the Big Ears Festival in the Tennessee city from which it takes its name.
Barely rehearsed and only conceptually discussed in advance, the level of cohesion, of unified vision, of developed direction is really pretty amazing. The success of the endeavour is a testament to the breadth of prior experience and brilliance of the performers involved. At no point does one instrument seem to dominate or overshadow. Instead, this is a democratic alliance of ebb and swell, of call and return, of space and density.
Christian Fennesz's interstitial electronic washes are delicately laid amongst the skitterish restive bursts of Tony Buck's percussion. Guitar parts by David Daniell and Fennesz provide the most strident and melodic of elements, at times insinuating a genuine ariose phrase, at others dissolving into punctuative dissonance.
Amazing ! Get it here:
