Hans Kennel is a different sort of trumpet player, one who hardly
fits any mold. His style looks back, perhaps to the 1950s, yet the
Swiss improviser also has performed with moderns such as Steve Lacy
and Albert Mangelsdorff. His tone has a distinctly lyrical quality,
a full sweetness that is accentuated by the tunes, which appear
mostly improvised. On two pieces, he blows Alphorn, which sounds
like a French horn. John Wolf Brennan is Kennel's partner on the 18
tracks, where he plays organ instead of his customary piano, and
Marc Untern„hrer joins on a lovely tuba for four selections. At
times, the going is a bit slow, to be sure, and with repetitive
patterns, isolated notes, extended tones, and minimalist
structures, this is far from the kind of innovative avant-garde
offerings often appearing on the Leo label. Still, it is a
different take, with Charles Ives, Erik Satie, and even a
traditional 17th century "melody form Picardie," each contributing
to the eclectic diversity of song. The remainder of the
"compositions" are by Kennel and Brennan, with the mood distinctly
backward looking through the lens of the present. ~ Steven Loewy
