This exhilarating session, nominally led by young Italian pianist Giovanni Guidi, is dominated by Gianluca Petrella on trombone, Craig Taborn's inspired rhythm section of bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Gerald Cleaver, and former Lounge Lizards saxophonist Michael Blake. Though it echoes the sprawling, rough-edge ensemble sound of Carla Bley's brass-powered bands or Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra, the set balances pace with rich improv ideas, all delivered with casual authority. The opening is pensive, but raucous trombone sounds soon smear across fast, bowed-bass figures and cyclonic free-jazz drums, before settling into a wry, Bley-like theme. The title track is a delectably smoky romantic melody for trombone and sax, but a skimming Ornette Coleman-like melody (effortlessly negotiated by Petrella) is not far behind. Begatto Kitchen is like Mediterranean and South African jazz merged; In Pursuit of Silence is exactly the exploration of space and minimal action it sounds as if it should be. This is an album made with heart, technique and freewheeling confidence.
