Our Take

Robert Mazurek's latest offering, "Badlands," is a wild ride through the sonic wilderness. The quartet, comprised of Mazurek on trumpet, John Edwards on bass, Mark Sanders on drums, and Pat Thomas on piano, create a cacophony of sound that is as unpredictable as it is captivating.

From the opening track, "Desolate Plains," Mazurek's trumpet soars over a backdrop of rumbling bass and frenetic drumming. The energy is infectious, drawing the listener in and refusing to let go. Each track feels like a journey into the unknown, with unexpected twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat.

One standout moment is "Lost Oasis," a hauntingly beautiful track that showcases Mazurek's virtuosity on the trumpet. The interplay between the quartet members is seamless, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both mesmerising and exhilarating.

But it's not all smooth sailing on "Badlands." Some tracks feel a bit too chaotic, bordering on the edge of discordance. While this may be intentional, it can be a bit jarring for those not accustomed to Mazurek's avant-garde style.

Overall, "Badlands" is a thrilling listen that pushes the boundaries of jazz music. Mazurek and his quartet have crafted an album that is as challenging as it is rewarding, leaving the listener both exhausted and exhilarated by the end. Strap in and take a ride through the Badlands – you won't be disappointed.
