Sequence

No reasonable person would call Sequence, Hollenbeck’s new CD with Boston’s brilliant Jorrit Dijkstra, jazz, but a minute into it and the fearless sound explorer will surely cease to care. For years Dijkstra has been quietly creating some of the most listenably adventurous experimental music using alto sax wired up to a raft of analog gadgets… Add Hollenbeck, unleashed from any score and in full creative mode and you’ve got odd, oddly compelling music. Emphasis on the word ‘music’, as these artists miraculously avoid mere inspired noisemaking.”
