from the l.a. weekly:
What often separates good music from great is feel. It's outside the lines, outside the rhythms, in fuzzy suggestions that the players pick up from each other and then transmit. This L.A. trio has feel: Listen to the new Antipodes on Cadence Jazz. Vinny Golia is the linesman, riffling forth reams of arpeggios à la Coltrane or selecting cleaner paths that recall Prokofiev; he plays many reeds, but see if you don't agree that he has the most gorgeous baritone-sax sound going. Steuart Liebig's electric bass comes off like an acoustic in this context, except that he can easily add touches of electronic spookery to his driving, supportive rumble. The textural banquet is completed by drummer Billy Mintz, who layers crispness and crust using hardly more than snare and cymbals while reminding you that a beat is infinitely divisible. These guys are excited about this union, and they should be. (Greg Burk)
