Our Take

Tim Berne and Gregg Belisle-Chi's collaborative album, Mars, is a wild and unpredictable journey through the outer realms of jazz. Berne, known for his avant-garde stylings, pairs perfectly with Belisle-Chi's experimental guitar riffs to create a cacophony of sound that is both chaotic and mesmerizing.

The opening track, "Red Planet," sets the tone for the album with its frenetic saxophone wails and dissonant guitar chords. Berne's fearless improvisation leads the listener on a dizzying ride through Mars' barren landscape, while Belisle-Chi's intricate guitar work serves as the perfect counterpoint.

Tracks like "Lava Flow" and "Dust Storm" showcase the duo's ability to create tension and release, with Berne's saxophone weaving in and out of Belisle-Chi's intricate guitar lines. The result is a sonic rollercoaster that keeps the listener on the edge of their seat from start to finish.

Mars is not for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take the journey, the rewards are plentiful. Berne and Belisle-Chi have created a masterpiece of avant-garde jazz that pushes the boundaries of the genre and leaves a lasting impression. So strap in, dear reader, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the cosmos with Tim Berne and Gregg Belisle-Chi's Mars.
