Our Take
Our Take
Sabir Mateen, Patrick Holmes, and Federico Ughi have joined forces to deliver Survival Situation, an album that is as unpredictable and exciting as a rollercoaster ride.
From the moment you press play, you are transported into a sonic adventure that doesn't let up until the final note fades away. Mateen's saxophone dances and flutters with boundless energy, while Holmes' clarinet adds a touch of whimsy and Ughi's drums provide a solid backbone for the whole experience.
The trio's chemistry is undeniable, as they weave in and out of each other's musical ideas with ease and precision. Each track feels like a conversation between old friends, with themes and motifs being passed back and forth like a game of hot potato.
But don't let the playful nature of the music fool you - there is a sense of urgency and tension lurking beneath the surface. The title track, "Survival Situation," is a perfect example of this, with its ominous drones and pulsating rhythms creating a sense of impending doom.
Overall, Survival Situation is a wild and exhilarating journey that will leave you breathless and wanting more. Mateen, Holmes, and Ughi have crafted a masterpiece that defies categorization and pushes the boundaries of what jazz can be. Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind listening experience.
