Details
[Edit]A free improv trio record (plus vocals and percussion by Sofie Van Lier in spots) recorded in the Javanese-born trumpeter Nedley Elstak's adopted hometown of Amsterdam in that revolutionary month of May 1968, The Machine is an excellent example of early creative jazz in the European tradition. It's not as extreme as the sort of 20-minute detuned improvisations that would become standard in European free improv circles very quickly, instead consisting of six relatively concise explorations of different sounds and moods. The rhythm section of drummer Martin Van Duynhoven and bassist Maarten Van Regteren Altena plays fast and loose with the rhythms, slipping back and forth between spirited but conventional post-bop and more fractured, out experiments like the tumbling beats of "Shades." Van Lier's soprano vocals add a surprising texture to the album that's comparable to Carla Bley's collaborations with Michael Mantler.
