Dave Jackson Music Details
"...Sydney's Dave Jackson feeds his alto saxophone through an octave divider and sometimes adds some delay to create a hybrid sound: part lighter and acoustic, and part harsher and processed. His compositions then engender improvisations in which this hybrid sound spears through time and space with dazzling animation. The treated alto finds its ideal foil in Steve Barry's Fender Rhodes, the harmonic aura of which adds to the prevailing sense of otherworldliness. By turns fuelling and earthing the explorations are Thomas Botting (bass) and Paul Derricott (drums), who are, themselves, richly idiosyncratic players, ensuring that Jackson's quartet is one of the most distinctive bands in town at the moment, and this was recorded live, so what you hear is what you get."
