Common Ground
by José Lencastre / Carlos Zingaro / Clara Lai / Gonçalo Almeida / João Sousa
supported by 12 fans who also own “One”
The eponymous title is introduced by an expressive dialogue of strings between the violinist and the double bass player. What comes next has a spectral beauty, the five bandmates improvising spontaneously a moving sound mass which rises in power very slowly like a tide. This is a perfect piece to illustrate the inexorable movement of the Solaris protoplasmic ocean. In the end, though, the triumph of this music is to charge off in the direction of something entirely new.

I first encountered Ches Smith via Tim Berne's Sanke Oil. In October 2023, I found him again, live with Ceramic Dog. This album grew on me QUICK! An unbelievable amalgamation of talent and expression.
