‘Signals from the Mind’ is the second SLAM album by the free jazz group HBH Trio, this time featuring special guest Chicagoan trombonist Julian Priester, a long-time colleague of pianist David Haney.
David Haney: piano
David Bajda: acoustic guitar
Jorge Hernaez: acoustic bass
Julian Priester: trombone
“Julian Priester’s trombone also adds an extraordinary and fascinating playing style. It seems to alter the dynamic forces integral to the trio and contributes rhythmic bass lines which may suddenly transmute to lively, shining, flamboyant, energetic and expressive solo parts. Impulsive, improvised solos from all four musicians are welcomed and there are no divas seeking the limelight, each musician being fully empathetic with the coming ideas of his colleagues. This awareness is echoed in their collective improvisation, enlarging and enhancing the consequence of a truly avant-garde jazz performance.” – Ken Cheetham, Jazz Views
All material spontaneously composed by Bajda, Hernaez, Haney, Priester.
Recorded at Classic Pianos, Portland Oregon on 26th June 2017.
