Our Take

Mark Dresser's latest album "In the Shadow of a Mad King" is a wild, experimental journey through the depths of the avant-garde jazz world. From the moment you press play, you are catapulted into a whirlwind of dissonant melodies and mind-bending rhythms. Dresser's virtuosity on the double bass is on full display, as he weaves intricate patterns that defy logic and gravity. The album's title track is a standout, with its frenetic tempo changes and unexpected bursts of noise. It's like being caught in a tornado of sound, with Dresser at the eye of the storm, orchestrating chaos with finesse. But don't expect an easy listening experience here - this is music for the brave and the adventurous. Tracks like "The Colour of Memory" and "The Healer" will challenge your preconceptions of what jazz can be, pushing the boundaries of convention with every note. "In the Shadow of a Mad King" is a testament to Dresser's fearless creativity and boundary-pushing spirit. It's a wild ride from start to finish, and one that will leave you breathless and exhilarated. Strap in and get ready for a musical adventure like no other.
