A Q&A with saxophonist-composer Tim Berne & drummer Nasheet Waits about their new duo record, “The Coandă Effect,” is up on sounditoutnyc.com. Recorded live last fall at the Sultan Room in Brooklyn, the album has been released by Relative Pitch and is available at Bandcamp. The album’s title references a phenomenon of physics, named for Romanian inventor Henri Coandă, that aids in aerodynamic lift; the title is apt, because the record feels like a ceaseless, buoyant swirl of melodic and rhythmic energy. In the Q&A, Berne and Waits – who have both featured in Sound It Out multiple times since the concert series was founded – discuss the rare performance that made for the album, with Berne also talking about how "The Coandă Effect" reflects a new method of melodic writing for him.

Apropos of Jaimie Branch & Jason Nazary making their Sound It Out debuts on March 5 with their electro-duo Anteloper at NYC’s Greenwich House Music School, below is the DownBeat review of their album “Kudu"... The show is a double-bill, with Jason also playing drums in a new trio with guitarist Ryan Ferreira and saxophonist Nathaniel Morgan. ... Anteloper "Kudu" (International Anthem) Anteloper – a duo project of trumpeter Jaimie Branch and drummer Jason Nazary, both doubling on synthesizers – explores gritty acoustic-electronic soundscapes, with the urban sonic edge complemented by plenty of melodic-textural hooks. This isn’t “jazz,” per se, though it is forward-minded instrumental music made by inventive, jazz-honed improvisers. Branch, boldly expressive on her horn, has ties to the Chicago and New York avant-jazz and indie-rock scenes, crossing from one to the other as a free spirit; her creatively orchestrated debut leader album, "Fly or Die," earned just praise. Nazary, a Brooklyn-based producer and instrumentalist, has a track record of melding the synthetic with the organic from free-jazz to art-rock. The liner note for "Kudu" by cornetist and fellow sonic adventurer Rob Mazurek advises, “Listen with eyes closed and don’t move.” The album is indeed an enveloping experience, one to be played from end to end for cumulative impact. Yet there are apt entry points. Opener “Oryx” – after the glitchy atmospherics of its intro and a section with Don Cherry-like fanfares – boasts a back-half melody that has the pull of a good rock chorus, grabbing hold in the synths before Branch’s open horn plays on and around the tune, ornamenting it like a singer. The 15-minute swirl of “Ohoneotree Suite” has a psychedelic Doppler effect, as if the listener were riding by a long row of open windows with snatches of tunes and rhythms bending your ear one after the other as they leap out and then fade into the blurring, dizzying electro-acoustic texture. — Bradley Bambarger ... @ghmusicschool #jaimiebranch #jasonnazary #ryanferreira #nathanielmorgan #trumpet #guitar #drums #synths #electricjazz #jazz #nyc @jaimiebranch @jason.nazary #saxophone #anteloper @r.ferreira.80

The fantastic new trio Breath of Air — electric violinist Charlie Burnham, guitarist Brandon Ross & drummer Warren Benbow — made its Sound It Out series debut on Feb 22 at Greenwich House with an utterly absorbing performance, ranging seamlessly from electric jazz to folk-blues and back again. Their music-making brimmed with atmosphere and edge, rhythm and song, improvisational freedom and harmonious spirit. Real African-American avant-grade. Can’t wait to have the band back in the series...
