Despite being a key participant in the "Left Coast" scene of more avant-leaning music from the American west coast—in particular, part of the Cryptogramophone imprint that, while less active than in its "glory days" during the first years of the new millennium—Alex Cline releases so infrequently as a leader that any new music from the percussionist/composer is worthy of attention. That he has flown so far under the radar, in recent years, that his last Cryptogramophone release, 2013's For People In Sorrow, was largely (and unfairly) overlooked. Thankfully, that's not the case with Oceans of Vows, a sumptuous two-disc set that documents a two-hour suite of music—two parts, each consisting of five movements.

Released in semi-obscurity 25 years ago (2012), Angelica was American guitarist Nels Cline’s first date as leader and shows a remarkable maturity. Cline is better known these days as guitarist with Chicago hipsters Wilco, and there are few modern musicians who can run with the jazz hare and hunt with the rock hounds with such ease. This well-deserved reissue is a chance to hear where the young guitarist’s head was at and is notable also for an unusually consonant contribution from saxophonist Tim Berne – now undisputed heavyweight champion of New York’s downtown scene, then barely out of his 30s.

Alex ha una attrazione per il buio scintillante del mondo e il talento di intuire i desideri degli altri. È così che si insinua nelle case e nella vita degli sconosciuti. Trascinandoli con sé nel suo precipizio. Il ritratto di una ragazza docile e spavalda in un romanzo sensuale e di smagliante tensione emotiva. Nella villa sull’oceano dove tutto è soffuso, algido, rarefatto, Alex si muove sinuosa, quasi invisibile. Simon le ha comprato abiti e gioielli, l’ha portata a cena esibendola come un animale splendido. Lei è stata impeccabile: «Tenere pulite le unghie. Mantenere l’alito fresco. Non lasciare grumi di dentifricio nel lavandino…» Nessun passo falso. Fino alla sera in cui ha commesso un errore imperdonabile durante un party in piscina. Adesso che niente può tornare come prima, l’ospite è messa alla porta. Senza risorse, cacciata da quel mondo dove non c’era posto per l’imperfezione, le resta solo una via di uscita, provare ancora una volta a spacciarsi per ciò che non è.

Transformation presents a survey Preston's multifarious career: his stint as keyboardist with Frank Zappa's Mothers Of Invention, his association with pianist-composer Carla Bley, his synthesizer work for the late distinguished composer-clarinetist John Carter as well as his own reputation as a writer of powerful though twisted music.

“Somehow I discovered I could write this music and play the saxophone. All that stumbling around and stuff, I ended up finally being able to play it a little bit. I ain’t the greatest by any means, not even close—but I think I’ve got depth, a broadness of my musical sensibility, that a lot of soloists don’t have, because they focus on that one thing, soloing. I want to develop the whole backdrop, the scenery. Once I found out that was possible, that I could collaborate with people, I came alive musically.” —Julius Hemphill
