Free jazz trios require an instigator—someone who will incite others to action,
counteraction, or response. With the trio of double bassist Pascal
Niggenkemper, Simon Nabatov, and Gerald Cleaver, there are three such
instigators, and on Upcoming Hurricane, these the three musicians collaborate
to create nearly a perfect storm.

A relative newcomer, German-born Niggenkemper invited the two veterans for this
improvisation session, and as such, he is the architect of these
tracks. Certainly, his bass stands up as an equal voice here, opening the disc
with swirling bow work on "Pusteblume," with Nabatov's piano detonated first
from the inside (strings), then with some contemplative wondering at the keys;
this coming together through mushrooming energy is an appealing feature
throughtout. Cleaver's scavenging work at his kit can take on "found sounds,"
like that of hubcaps and wind chimes, on "Fighting The Mill"; like his work in
Farmers By Nature, with William Parker and Craig Taborn, Cleaver shifts from
minimalist to thunderous fomenter with ease. But, then, so can Nabatov. The
pianist, whose previous work with the drummers such as Tom Rainey, Paul Lovens,
and Michael Sarin, can approach these interactions with the scrabble of horn
player and the painter-like qualities of a stringed instrument. The delicacy of
his playing balances Niggenkemper's fiery momentum and Cleaver's decorations.

The best example of this group's facility is on the nearly 12-minutes title
track, where the trio builds a dense, layered, and ever-increasingly energized
sound that morphs constantly into a thunderhead. The brewing tempest has
Nabatov favoring left hand rumblings, Niggenkemper the reverberations of energy
from bowed and plucked strings, and Cleaver a churning surge of power. It is a
masterpiece of instant composition.
