The most current lineup of Basement Research is leader Gebhard Ullmann on tenor
saxophone and bass clarinet, Steve Swell on trombone, Julian Argüelles on
baritone saxophone, Pascal Niggenkemper on bass and Gerald Cleaver on
drums. They recorded eleven Ullmann compositions, blending modern jazz and
contemporary methods of composition. "Twelve Tones - Impromptu #5" has abstract
sounding horns with saxophones swirling about like predatory birds as the bass
and drums kick in. They build an uptempo five piece improvisation with trombone
and one saxophone in each stereo channel, and the bass, drums and remaining
saxophone in the middle, making for a wide sound stage for a powerful
collectively improvised section. Ullman takes a nice tenor saxophone solo
supported by sturdy bass before leading the full band to a rousing
conclusion. Fading in already in progress, "29 Shoes" finds the band chugging
away with slashing drums and strong horn riffs. [...]
