282: Entourage Music and Theatre Ensemble // Ceremony of Dreams: Studio Sessions & Outtakes 1972–1977

Ceremony of Dreams: Studio Sessions & Outtakes 1972–1977 Entourage Music and Theatre Ensemble 2018, Tompkins Square (Bandcamp)

Still wildly underknown given the transporting beauty of their compositions, there is a world next door to this one where Baltimore’s Entourage Music and Theatre Ensemble is as popular a soundtrack for meditation and study as Steve Reich or Philip Glass are in our own. Their music lies somewhere between modern chamber music and progressive folk, with a dash of jazz, and it was often used to score experimental dance and theatre productions. The band released two albums in the 1970s on Folkways before dissolving following the death of bandleader Joe Clark in 1983. Most probably their obscurity came from practicing their craft outside a major cultural centre; if anything, the 1,600 monthly listeners they command on Spotify represents wider exposure than they enjoyed in their prime.

Ceremony of Dreams, available in a three-hour digital format or an abridged ten-track vinyl, collects material that didn’t make it onto either of their Folkways records. Compared to Entourage and The Neptune Collection, these tracks are a little less playful, less overtly experimental in their production; they weren’t after all recorded specifically for release as an LP. But even in its condensed wax form, I can speak to the quality of Ceremony’s sober reveries, the lot of it grey or ghost-haloed yet coruscating, like black and white footage of waves crashing at night. Rather than a mere trove of demos, it meaningfully expands on their discography.

The Pitchfork review does a better job of namedropping comparable artists than I have the chutzpah for today (Arvo Pärt, Bert Jansch, La Monte Young, John Cale, Sandy Bull, raga like in general), but if you have a taste for open-concept acoustic music, Ceremony of Dreams is a sure shot.

(As an aside though: It's either endearing or grownworthy that the Entourage boys still have the classic doofy musician dude sense of humour that compels them to give these ethereal compositions "Lick My Lovepump"-ass names like "Sleazy Sue" and "Necrophelia.")

Vega Trails - Tremors in the Static

(Chamber Jazz, Third Stream, Avant-Garde Jazz)

The Portico Quartet bassist and Mammal Hands saxophonist come together for enriching, intimate chamber pieces with the occasional flickers of jazz and third stream in the mix. Tremors in the Static is an album that demands to be played in the dark, every tender bass note and simmering woodwind lead bringing you deeper into the caverns of these nine bewitching pieces.

☆☆☆☆

You have to press your ear up against Tremors in the Static to fully understand what's happening. It's an album that only really works in a few contexts: this is surely not music fit for anywhere but small rooms and tiny chamber stages. Vega Trails, a duo comprised of Portico Quartet double bassist Milo Fitzpatrick and Mammal Hands saxophonist Jordan Smart brings an incredibly unique and engrossing take on chamber jazz that takes that small ensemble ethos in stride. Named after the Carl Sagan sci-fi novel Contact, a story about humanity learning to interact with an extraterrestrial life form, the sound of Vega Trails seems familiar to any jazz novice with its silk-strewn improvisations and driving rhythms, but everything is so pared down and stripped back that it makes for a whole new experience entirely. The beauty of Tremors in the Static is that it holds out on its beauty, the music's character not simply coming through the sound of the instrument but all the little things that come along with it. Here, the sound of a finger sliding across the fretboard or the slight tap of the keys against the body of the saxophone can be just as important as the notes coming out of the instruments themselves. Rarely does Tremors in the Static grow above an urgent whisper, but that quiet nature doesn't mean the music is unable to engage you - it's more akin to the way a deer might slowly sneak its way through a tree grove, a solemn and silent beauty that escapes you the moment you try and run up to get a closer look. Undisturbed by the usual noise Portico Quartet brings to the table, Fitzpatrick's bass work is the most audible it has ever been here, his iron-clad rhythmic ear and eye for unique harmonic progressions helping carve the winding paths Smart takes on the dreamy Train to Kyoto, or the walking bassline he throws down on centerpiece Closer that creates a liable landing pad for Smart's soaring sax lines; his time in Portico Quartet has helped him find his sound over the years, and here he's able to show it off in the clearest waters available. Inspired by the spaciousness and textural depth of Swedish fiddle music, Indian classical music, and ancient Spanish lullabies, Tremors in the Static never tries to fuse the two of them into one being, the natural ambiance of the church they recorded the album in bouncing the sound around until it melts into the air outside of their control, the acidic string drones buzzing around the room like fireflies on B-side highlight Red Moon Rising while a bass clarinet performance from Smart channels a beautiful and murky melodic energy into the piece while the white-hot hellfire of his unstoppable saxophone lines on the following Epic Dream are so heavenly reverberating off every wall that it practically becomes a heaven in itself. The instrumental stories the two of them tell here together resonate through every sensory nerve in your body, Tremors in the Static asking you to dig deeper into yourself than nearly any other album will this year. It's also an incredibly calming album, something that prevents its labyrinthian design from becoming overwhelming. By design, Tremors in the Static doesn't hide much from you, the two-instrumentalist compositions making it next to impossible for you to ever feel like you can't get a hold on all that's happening around you. While Epic Dream may be filled to the brim with huge saxophone swells and flickering bass notes, the growth of the song over six minutes ensures you see how the compositions are put together before Fitzpatrick and Smart let the whole thing come flying at you. On the inverse, Spiral Slow uses its six minutes in an entirely different way, led by a cyclical bassline that causes Smart's saxophone lines to collapse into itself, delay effects wrapping harmonies around harmonies that seen in the sun for hours. It's that minimalist nature that makes Tremors in the Static such a success, clearly laying out every idea the duo has and commanding you to follow their lead with every note. They're pushed to the limits of their musicianship by not having anyone to rely on but themselves, every breath Smart takes and unexpected note Fitzpatrick throws in risking the chance of it all falling apart, the risk of staking it out on your own exhilarating as they find new ways to make it work every time, be it in the rapturous drones blanketing the title track or the rush of energy that propels them through the mystical Closer. Wherever they go, something new is waiting for them inside every shadow. Tremors in the Static lingers, but it doesn't ever overstay its welcome. The same way the light might shade a sunset for hours while letting the moonlight shine after, the music Fitzpatrick and Smart have made here is equal parts engaging and immersive, their conviction as instrumentalists coming through in the most raw and powerful ways that they allow themselves, unveiling the conversational nature of music and how performers interact with one through through both explicit and implicit terms: what it means to catch onto an unusual chord change and run with it or lock eyes with someone and land the perfect hit alongside them. Listening to Tremors in the Static is like walking atop self-aware quicksand, able to tell when you want to watch the internal workings of its movement on the top or submit yourself fully to its whims and be just as enticing either way, taking you on an underwater cave adventure with seemingly no end in sight. But you only ever want to keep on going deeper into it, to discover what might be lying even deeper into these chilly chamber jazz pieces. Vega Trails are happy to oblige, and Tremors in the Static makes for an introduction to their world like no other.

11. Laurel Halo | Atlas

🇺🇸 Etats-Unis | Awe | 41 minutes | 10 morceaux

Laurel Halo inaugure en beauté le label Awe qu’elle vient de fonder, avec ce mélange envoûtant de jazz aérien, d’énergie orchestrale et d’ambiances planantes. Atlas est bâti autour du piano, instrument avec lequel l’artiste a récemment renoué, mais il agrège aussi des textures électroniques et des ajouts de guitare, de violon ou encore de vibraphone. Une ambiance profondément immersive et apaisante s’en dégage, propice à l’émerveillement. A noter la présence de la violoncelliste Lucy Railton et du saxophoniste Bendik Giske, dont les albums respectifs sortis aussi cette année n’étaient pas loin de figurer dans le cut final de la cuvée 2023.

I really love it when piece that are written in a jazz style but aren't specifically jazz have something resembling a jazz solo that is still very clearly notated, so when you're looking at the music it's like "wow the composer had such well thought out intentions going into this but it SOUNDS like they just made it up, it sounds so free and expressive". And obviously this is also on the performer for having a good understanding of the solo and being able to play it freely despite how difficult it might look. Like this

[ID: The second, third, and fourth lines of the clarinet arrangement of the Blues from An American in Paris, depicting a solo of the nature I was describing /End ID]

oh this is GORGEOUS

They really spent a lot of time pointing to the second coming for Apolaypse 2 electric boogaloo

all 3 minisodes are about ... humans dying and being brought back to life, or more like, how that is not possible...and how Heaven and Hell have worked around that

In A Companion to Owls, Job kids never died even when they should have, Heaven didn't know enough to distinguish that they were the same children and Sitis quickly got that the miracle was... that their children didn't die to begin with. Once they are dead it is game over and Crowley and Aziraphale refused to let them die

In The Resurrectionists (it is literally called The Resurrectionists!!) and it is how one girl is shot and they can't do anything once she is dead. And Crowley still goes off of his way to make sure the other one doesn't kill herself, risking everything. And we know hell's extreme sanctions are probably what makes him ask for insurance, for holy water. On the other hand, this episode is called The ResurrectionistS, plural, but we meet only one of them ..while in the other side of the sign is Christ himself.

THEN in 1941, we have ZOMBIES, the literal living dead walking around, and Furfur states that he can't make them living people again due to a clause and just leave them as zombies to roam the earth. We see how cursed they are, rotting and bound to eat brains but not human.

EVEN! From episode 1, we get a big Clue: miracles are measured in lazarii, and resurrecting someone is no easy feat. They were telling us to watch out about coming back to life... and how only the mightiest of archangels are able to use that amount of power (or an angel and a demon holding hands...)

and I do want to point out that part of the things Gabriel remembered was this line

Job kids didn't die, in victorian england Wee Morag died falling in the hands of a resurrectionist, and the Germans died and came back- just not quite alive. Every day it is getting closer,

... they are telling us that the second coming is afoot, but they are also showing us that there is no second opportunity on this earth. Once you are dead, you are dead.

and Crowley, in the direst time when Aziraphale is breaking his little demonic heart, says

And now, the plan to resurrect one human to make the end of the world happen is in Aziraphale's hands.
