Music / Post No Bills Tonight at Elastic: Fallout From Atomic
Posted by Peter Margasak on Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 12:43 PM
- Free Fall
Two of the group's Norwegian members—pianist Haavard Wiik and bassist Ingebrigt Haaker Flaten—are still in town, and tonight they play at Elastic with Free Fall, their long-running post-Jimmy Giuffre improvising trio with reedist Ken Vandermark.
The group will release its fourth album, Gray Scale, later this spring on Smalltown Superjazzz. As a thank-you to loyal Post No Bills readers, here's an exclusive track from the record, "Caesius."

Thank you, Mr. Margasak, for drawing your readers' attention to Eurocentric Improvised Music. Is this the first time you have covered these players?

dislikeNo, I've been writing about European improvised music in the Reader for, um, about 17 years.
"No, I've been writing about European improvised music in the Reader for, um, about 17 years."
And the world has been a richer place for it.
didn't you used to write about EIM in Buttrag? you've only been at the Reader since 93? didn't you write critic choices for Southend gigs back in the day, or is my memory completely shot? anyway, thanks for the selection.
Lawrence--yep, Butt Rag certainly covered the stuff. And yes, it appears your memory is shot. Man, saying I've "only bee at the Reader since 93" makes me feel even older than I normally feel.
