<h1>Gord Grdina Trio with Mats Gustafsson, “Barrel Fire”</h1>
<div>
<div>April 18, 2011</div>
<p>By <a title="Posts by  Mike Griffin" href="http://www.foxydigitalis.com/foxyd/?author=17">Mike Griffin</a></div>

<div>
<p><a href="http://www.foxydigitalis.com/foxyd/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/barelf.jpg"><img title="barelf" src="http://www.foxydigitalis.com/foxyd/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/barelf.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></a>“Barrel Fire” was recorded live in  2009 in Vancouver, a document of a fiery collaboration between the Gord  Grdina Trio and Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson.  Grdina’s trio consists of guitar, bass, and drums,  but in this live set their music mixes elements from jazz and no wave,  with a little bit of punk rock for energy and a little bit of ancient  folk music tossed in for unexpectedly sharp seasoning.</p>
<p>Gustafsson’s acrobatic screech and bluster fit in perfectly with the  Grdina Trio’s cascading and furious sounds.  On “F.W.R.” Grdina’s guitar  possesses a stinging, nasty tone, mixing a great, unadorned Telecaster  sound with fluid, dissonant, and spectacularly fast runs.  Gustafsson  matches Grdina step for step, while drummer Kenton Loewen pushes the  tempo relentlessly.  Grdina is no mere chop-tastic player; noise and  distortion lurk at the margins of his precise riffing in a way that I  have not often heard among jazz guitar players.  His amazing intro to  “Burning Bright” segues into a headpart that owes as much to Captain  Beefheart as it does to Ornette Coleman, and then Grdina yields the  floor to Gustafsson for another crisp and intelligent solo.  When Grdina  rejoins the fray Gustafsson blazes away next to him, while bassist  Tommy Babin circles around the two soloists like a wary innocent  bystander hoping to avoid carnage before taking a solo of his own.  It’s  stirring stuff, and the band’s ability to infuse jazz with this sort of  manic skronk is not something I’ve encountered much beyond bands like  Ultralyd, Universal Congress of, or John Zorn during his Naked City and  Painkiller era.  Grdina’s willingness to hammer away on one note in true  primitivist fashion is rare in a guitarist who has such deep technique,  but it lends a simple and effective explosiveness to the end of  “Burning Bright” that would be lost under a cloud of notes if it were  played otherwise.</p>
<p>“229? brings sonic heat as well; drummer Loewen is given a spot to  display some skill before the band launches into an idiosyncratic take  on a more traditional piece.  Gustafsson leads things off again with  another effective solo, flying around Loewen and Babin’s sped-up walk  before Grdina takes his turn after a return to the song’s head.  The  engines speed up, picks are shredded, fingernails torn, and the trio  rides the piece to its outro in heavy fashion, before Babin gently ends  things with a solo bass part.  “En Shakoota” is the gem here for me, as  Grdina exchanges his electric guitar for an oud, and lays down a  lengthy, dust-swept, and lonesome-sounding intro.  The contrast between  the oud’s delicate tones to the round and spiky Telecaster is dramatic  and welcome, but there is no loss in intensity here, as Grdina’s oud  playing is skillful and dramatic.  When the rhythm section kicks in, the  effect is tremendous; it nearly forces me out of my chair still on my  twentieth listen…murmured vocals, mystic and unintelligible, add to the  asskicking exotic feel of it all before Gustafsson’s sax swoops  overhead, majestic and suitably mournful.  Title track “Barrel Fire”  rocks all over the place, evoking a Minutemen-versus-King Crimson mood,  complete with staggering no-wave breakdown in the middle.  Impeccably  recorded too – all instruments come through well in the mix, clear and  representative of what must’ve gone down that night in Vancouver.  All  the musicians shine on this release, and I feel that I must check out  more of the Grdina Trio’s work after this one.</p>

Barrel Fire </strong>is<strong> The Gordon Grdina Trios&#8217; </strong>most           brutally driving, raw, dynamic record to date.  The  collaboration          between GG3 and <strong>Mats Gustafsson</strong> at the 2009  Vancouver          International Jazz Festival was recorded and Barrel Fire is the  first          set from that night. There are few edits in order to retain the  natural          raw power of the original concert. The band expands and explodes           through the melodic sketches with inherent  interest in the raw  dynamic          energy of group improvisation. The group sounds at times like a  freight          train screaming down the tracks in the dark recesses of your  city but          as the Oud takes the fore ground we are reminded of the  sensitive and          delicate reflection in this darkness. There are moments of  silence          and individual exploration filled with the intensity of the  search. The          search to let go to what will become. The band owes as much of a  debt          to the energy of bands like The EX, and The Dead Kennedys as it  does to          the primal melodic sensibility of Albert Ayler and the  sophistication          of Ornette Coleman.  This music is engaging and gripping, an          onslaught. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">The  <strong>Gord          Grdina Trio</strong> is based out of Vancouver, BC and has been a  working          touring ensemble since 2005.  The Trio consists of Gord Grdina          (guitar, oud), Kenton Loewen (drums) and Tommy Babin (bass).  They have          collaborated with many of the world’s top improviser’s such          as Fredrik Ljungkvist, Eric Boeren, Wilbert De Joode, Michael  Moore, Jerry          Granelli, Michael Blake, Jeb Bishop, Kent Kessler, Mark Helias,  Ingebrigt          Haker- Flaten and Fred Longberg-Holm.  They have toured  throughout          North America and Europe regularly since 2005.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><strong>Gordon           Grdina</strong> is a guitar/oud player that is constantly  reinventing          himself while retaining an individual voice. Aside from the GG3  he leads           the East Van Strings, Haram, and Sangha. He also records and  performs          regularly with Dan Mangan and The Crackling.</p>
<p><strong>Kenton Loewen</strong> has been a seminal member of the  Vancouver          improvising and rock communities performing in such wide ranging  groups          as the anarchist punk band Submission Hold, art pop group Mother  Mother,          The Now Orchestra, Tanya Tagaq, and the Coat Cooke Trio. He is  currently          with Dan Mangan and is the leader/songwriter for The Crackling.</p>
<p><strong>Tommy Babin</strong> started his career in Montreal  playing with          Jorane, Thomas Hellman, and Les Projectionnistes before moving  to Vancouver          in 2005.  He has played with great jazz and world musicians          like Daniele D’Agaro, Hamid Drake, Joel Miller, Ramachandra  Borcar,          and Paul Plimley.  He currently leads Benzene, and Sendero  Luminoso.</p>
<p><strong>Mats Gustafson</strong> was born 1964 in Umeå, Northern          Sweden. He is a saxplayer, improviser and composer. Mats works  as a solo          artist and tours internationally with Peter Brötzmann, Sonic  Youth,          Merzbow, Jim O´Rourke, Barry Guy, Otomo Yoshihide, Yoshimi and  in          working groups The Thing, Sonore, FIRE!, Gush, Boots Brown,  Swedish Azz          and Nash Kontroll. Mats is a member of the Barry Guy New  Orchestra, the          Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet and the NU – ensemble. Mats has          done over 1600 concerts and has appeared on at least 150 records  in Europe,          North America and Asia.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Press:</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">&#8220;&#8230;this is a stunner.&#8221; &#8211; <strong><em>The           Province</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">&#8220;There           is so much power behind the drum hits, so much pent-up  frustration in          the guitar entanglements and as usual, Gustafsson makes the sax  sound          like a rabid beast rather than a musical instrument. Seek this  recording          out.&#8221; &#8211; <em><strong>Beat Route</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">&#8220;Grdina&#8217;s guitar and oud  playing acts as a          good foil to Gustafsson, with Babin and drummer Kenton Loewen  supplying          just the high-octane rhythm section required. Thrilling stuff.&#8221; &#8211;           <em><strong>All About Jazz</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">&#8220;After           its initial impact, relentless fury soon becomes  one-dimensional, but          Grdina and his rhythm section leaven Gustafsson&#8217;s bluster and he  responds,          making this music for repeated listening as well as catharsis.&#8221; &#8211;           <em> <strong>The Wire</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">&#8220;Fast-paced           heads, smoking improvisations, and a high level of interaction  between          everyone.&#8221; &#8211; <em><strong>Monsieur Délire</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">&#8220;&#8230;the resulting sound is as  violent          as the cover art.&#8221; &#8211; <em><strong>Pop Matters</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">&#8220;Free,           yet focused, intense and over-the-top, this is one of heaviest  discs I&#8217;ve          recently reckoned with.&#8221; &#8211; <em><strong>Bruce Lee Gallanter  (Downtown          Music Gallery) </strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">&#8220;Egged           on by a worshipful audience, the band rips through five pieces  like a          rabid dog on the attack, the musicians&#8217; sound at times  reminiscent of          Naked City in intensity and of Ornette Coleman&#8217;s (original)  Prime Time          in harmolodic approach.&#8221; &#8211; <em><strong>Textura</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: xx-small;">&#8220;&#8230;from acid-toned  string-tickling          skitter to boring-down relentlessness&#8230;&#8221; &#8211; <em><strong>Paris  Transatlantic          Magazine</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">&#8220;There           is freshness and vitality to the performance, tight ensemble  playing,          power, subtlety &#8211; what&#8217;s not to like?&#8221; -<em><strong> Hour</strong></em></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>THE ARTFARMER  limited edition 12” vinyl  is here!!!!</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-505" href="http://matsgus.com/archives/500/vinyl1"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-505" title="vinyl1" src="http://matsgus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/vinyl1-500x333.jpg" alt="vinyl1" width="500" height="333" /></a> This is an offer to purchase a numbered limited edition 12” vinyl record by<br />
THE ARTFARMER.<br />
This particular constellation is: Mats Gustafsson, baritone and tenor<br />
saxophones, Clay Ketter, drums and Anders Lindsjö, bass guitar.<br />
This record is released in conjunction with Ketter’s solo exhibition at<br />
Moderna Museet, Stockholm, summer 2009. The record consists of 3 tracks<br />
on the A-side, the B-side etched with a motif reminiscent of the exhibition.<br />
Each sleeve contains a unique screenprint by Atelier Clay Ketter. Edition 300.<br />
The Artfarmer was initially formed in November 1992 in association with Clay Ketter’s first solo exhibition in<br />
Sweden. The Artfarmer has had different constellations throughout the years.<br />
In 1998, while producing the theme music for a television series, they recorded and released a blues-rock<br />
CD. Sporadic performances and recording sessions ensued during the following years with various guests,<br />
always with Ketter/Lindsjö as a base.<br />
Gustafsson and Lindsjö met the first time in 1986 and playing and recording with Jean Christophe<br />
Morrison’s “Bad Quartet”. Ketter and Lindsjö met after a show the following year in New York City.<br />
In the fall of 1990, the music of J.C. Morrison was played for the first time by the present trio, who join<br />
nearly 20 years later to revisit these exquisite works, along with a tune by Jake Holmes, stolen by a far more<br />
famous band in the late sixties – one of Ketters earliest and most enduring influences.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-507" href="http://matsgus.com/archives/500/treff004_21"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-507" title="treff004_21" src="http://matsgus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/treff004_21-500x497.jpg" alt="treff004_21" width="500" height="497" /></a></p>
<p><em>Some words about the record:<br />
Swedish artist Clay Ketter has found the same patterns in houses, buildings, and traces in cities as did the artists of<br />
l´art concret invent. This is extraordinary coming from two very different points of view. One being the pursuit of another<br />
society the other being the traces of the society; of modernism so to say. Ketter´s art is in a way childish, looking with<br />
wide open eyes at what he sees. Where the modernist artist yearned for change or stunned in admiration Ketter must<br />
have discovered a kind of rhythmic pulse; usable for music as well as pictures.<br />
This edition has been designed and formed by Ketter. The cover is not really a cover it is a print. He is playing with<br />
signs of time, season and places. It gives you a sensation of longing although you know you just long for a time and not<br />
a place. Could it be he is thinking of his own American background? The same goes for the beautiful vinyl itself with<br />
music only on one side and etched art on the other.<br />
Yes, I think the music tells us this session was a dream. The beat is strong and persistent, almost shamanistic, and<br />
the sound is cooking as it did during the heydays of free jazz back in New York City… The magic really is its congenial<br />
strength so far away from the city and its free jazz times. They are just in Uppåkra, Sweden, but seem to have forgotten<br />
this obvious fact for a dream. The one you get a hint of just by looking at the record.<br />
Thomas Millroth </em><br />
get it before its too late&#8230; strictly limited and just&#8230;.beautiful:</p>
