The uncompromising American alto saxophonist Steve Coleman isn't the kind of artist to hire a marketing team, but if he was you could bet that track titles like the name of this album, or Plagal Transitions, or Diasporatic Transitions II would be straight in the shredder.
Coleman is a serious thinker about contemporary music, and he doesn't wear the responsibility lightly. But behind the solemn, lecture-room gravitas, and woven between the sometimes mathematical investigation of rhythm and ensemble patterns he favours, can be a hot and soulful alto-sax improviser, and a surprisingly nimble and free-spirited nu-bop enthusiast. With 2002's Resistance Is Futile (also on Label Bleu), Coleman attractively balanced free-jazz, Latin-funk, rap and even a trip to Thelonious Monk's classic Straight, No Chaser. That disc was something of a varied relief from Coleman's run of chess-move albums that seemed to put pattern and careful strategy first.
Using 19 players and singers, including tenor saxist Ravi Coltrane, young keyboard visionary Craig Taborn and Uri Caine trumpeter Ralph Alessi, this disc also explores the tonal variations that disrupt the habits established by conventional scalar and modal forms. Though Lucidarium is Latin for "bringer of light", this isn't as light and open a set as its predecessor, and individual solos are largely sacrificed to a collective-improvising approach. Although a return to Coleman's more focused music might well be implied by the repeated sax lines over a lumpy, funk beat, the car-horn hoots and ghostly chanting of the opener, or the sombre extended vocal sounds over bass drones, floaty mallet-work and trumpets on the title track, the wild boppish intensity of the Plagal Transitions reveals his fearless jazzer energies.
Coleman's unwavering devotion to his cause grows on you through long, overlaid sections of drifting horns and hymnal voices, atonal arco bass against bass guitar, mellow trombone and alto musings over hand-drumming, prayer-like low-register sax and more delicious 21st-century Monkish bop over superb rhythm-section playing from Taborn, Drew Gress and drummer Dafnis Prieto. Probing, tautly constructed, original, contemporary music; though perhaps of the consenting-adults kind.
