The range of sound -- pure, unadulterated sound -- is so broad and grand that it is hard to imagine that there are only three instruments producing it. Lucas Niggli calls his trio "Zoom," and appropriately so. The percussionist's 13 compositions favor revved up tempos and lots of variety. Trombonist Nils Wolgram is the sole horn, and this is this remarkable player's best recording to date. Wolgram straddles the line between the avant-garde and post-bop, in much the same way as German trombonist Albert Mangelsdorff, who is clearly a major influence on Wolgram, particularly with the multiphonics. Totally exposed with only Niggli and eclectic guitarist Phillip Schaufelberger with him, Wolgram dances up and down his horn, with incredible range, fluidity, and punch. Niggli keeps the juices going, with oddball meters, quick changes in direction, and plenty of melody sandwiched between radical rhythms. Interest never wanes, and Schaufelberger gives an alternatively funky and freestyle lift throughout. Fun stuff that is curiously accessible, not easily pigeonholed, and eerily unique.
