On John Hébert’s third leader project, the Louisiana-born, New York-based
bassist—whose sideman credits include trio recordings with pianist Fred Hersch
and guitarist Mary Halvorson—reconvenes his trio with French
pianist-keyboardist Benoît Delbecq and drummer Gerald Cleaver, both of whom
appeared on 2010’s Spiritual Lover (Clean Feed). Delbecq shines on Floodstage,
playing prepared piano and analog synth and manipulating live-sampling software
to loop his parts with the band in real-time. Hébert anchors the pieces from
the low end. Cleaver’s playing is sparse throughout—but it’s also a key element
in this trio’s DNA. The pianist’s bluesy intro to the traditional gospel tune
“Nearer My God To Thee” sets up a perfect entrance for the rhythm section, and
Hébert and Cleaver land right in the thick of it. The trio never strays far
from the melody, paying homage to the song’s long history; it was part of the
repertoire of turn-of-the-century New Orleans jazz bands like Buddy
Bolden’s. On a pair of tunes toward the end of the disc, Delbecq experiments
with prepared piano (he added putty-like adhesive and wooden sticks to the
piano’s strings). “Saints” is jittery, minimal electronica, where the piano
notes are transformed into a series of warm blips and bleeps. The tune moves
into “Sinners,” which finds Delbecq again using the prepared-piano technique,
now with the addition of Hébert and Cleaver. The drummer builds a skeletal
structure around the pianist’s lines, while Hébert easily finds his stride
within the song’s busy rhythm.
