    Ben Allison - Peace Pipe (2002) {Palmetto Records}

    A versatile acoustic bassist with an adventurous spirit, Ben Allison has often excelled in avant-garde settings but has proven himself to be equally capable of playing hard bop. The East Coast native was only nine when he began studying music, and he was 22 when, in 1989, he graduated from New York University with a B.A. in jazz performance. In 1992, Allison founded the Jazz Composers Collective, a musician-run, nonprofit organization that encouraged artists to take risks and didn't shy away from the avant-garde when presenting many concerts in New York. It was in 1994 that the Collective launched the Herbie Nichols Project, which Allison co-directed with pianist Frank Kimbrough; it used concerts and CDs (including Love Is Proximity on Soul Note) to celebrate the music of the great but underexposed bebop pianist Herbie Nichols. In addition to being employed on albums by Lee Konitz, Ted Nash, and Eddie Gale, the 1990s found Allison playing live with Clark Terry, Gary Bartz, Jack Walrath, Kenny Werner, Dave Liebman, Judi Silvano, Michael Blake, and Clifford Jordan. Allison first recorded under his own name when he did Seven Arrows for Palmetto in 1996, and has also recorded for Palmetto with his adventurous group Medicine Wheel. Third Eye followed in 1999 and Riding the Nuclear Tiger appeared two years later.
    Peace Pipe signals a change of direction for bassist/composer Ben Allison, as he moves away from Medicine Wheel and toward a leaner, more eclectic (if that's possible) ensemble featuring Malian kora virtuoso Mamadou Diabate. The juxtaposition of African and Western instruments could lead some to peg this as "world" music, but Allison is too irrepressibly original to be squeezed into a marketing niche. By bringing Diabate into contact with Medicine Wheel regulars Michael Blake, Frank Kimbrough, and Michael Sarin, Allison simply does what he always does, i.e., pushes his writing into fresh, unexplored areas. (Tenor saxophonist Peter Apfelbaum and Medicine Wheel cellist Tomas Ulrich appear as guests along the way.) In general, the harmonies are more static, the textural combinations more stark, the grooves moodier and a bit more mellow. "Mantra," the finale, illustrates Allison's new thinking with exceptional clarity. The tune moved at a bouncier clip when it first appeared on Medicine Wheel's Third Eye album in 1999; here it's several notches slower, allowing listeners to savor the splendid melody of the B section, which is now arguably an A section. Diabate's quicksilver kora lines underscore Sarin's solo on the double-time portion. What could have come across as recycled material instead represents a sort of rebirth. Diabate also appears on the first two tracks, "Third Rail" and "Slap Happy," as well as his own "Dakan" and a short, freely improvised bass/kora duet called "Music Is Music." Allison foregrounds the kora-less quartet on the title cut, which features positively brilliant work by Blake and Kimbrough. Other quartet pieces include the grandly funky "Disposable Genius" (the theme of NPR's On the Media) and the steadily swinging "Realization," far and away the most jazz-oriented track. But looking well beyond jazz for inspiration, Allison also covers Neil Young's "Goin' Back."
