Our Take

In the ever-expanding landscape of avant-garde jazz, KALI Trio's latest offering, "The Playful Abstract," stands out as a delightful romp through the quirky and unpredictable. The trio, comprised of saxophonist Tessa Potter, drummer Ethan Williams, and pianist Alex Chang, brings together a unique blend of improvisational prowess and sheer musicality that is sure to captivate listeners from start to finish. From the opening track, "Funky Bubbles," it's clear that KALI Trio is not afraid to push the boundaries of traditional jazz. The frenetic energy and off-kilter rhythms on display here set the tone for the rest of the album, as the trio effortlessly weaves in and out of complex melodic structures with an infectious sense of playfulness. Throughout the album, each member of the trio shines in their own right, with Potter's fiery saxophone lines, Williams' dynamic drumming, and Chang's intricate piano work all coming together in perfect harmony. Tracks like "Jazz Cats on Parade" and "Surreal Serenade" showcase the group's ability to create rich sonic tapestries that are at once innovative and engaging. As "The Playful Abstract" draws to a close with the hauntingly beautiful "Moonlit Mirage," it's clear that KALI Trio has firmly cemented their place as one of the most exciting and inventive acts in contemporary jazz. With their bold experimentation and genre-defying sound, this album is a testament to the trio's boundless creativity and musical prowess. Don't miss out on this truly unique listening experience.
