This 1987 production signifies
experimental
guitarist
David Torn
's second effort for Germany-based
ECM Records
. Here, the artist exhibits a sound, style, and methodology that are clearly his own, amid superb support by
Bill Bruford
(drums),
Tony Levin
(Chapman Stick/bass), and
Mark Isham
(trumpets).
Torn
generates gobs of excitement via his cunningly articulated phraseology, while also incorporating North African and East Indian
modal
concepts into these power-packed performances, fabricated upon climactic opuses and steamy crescendos. The guitarist's rippling harmonics and off-kilter voicings make for an engaging listening experience, especially when he trades sprightly fours with
Isham
atop the often-circuitous rhythms. Simply put,
Cloud About Mercury
looms as one of the finest
jazz fusion
dates of the '80s, and should be deemed a mandatory purchase for aficionados of this genre. ~ Glenn Astarita
