Eye'll Be Seeing You

One of the more innovative bassists to emerge since 1980, Mark Dresser has worked with contemporary jazz musicians and luminaries of modern classical music. On this album, Dresser and pianist Anthony Coleman (along with reed player Chris Speed) embrace the world of film as a province for conceptual inspiration. Dresser's compositions address the 1929 film Un Chien Andalou, by surrealists Louis Buñuel and Salvador Dali, while Coleman tackles Jean Vigo's A Propos de Nice. While the pieces are not your typical soundtrack, the musicians do produce some dramatic performances. Dresser's contrabass is authoritative whether plucked or bowed, and Coleman's piano style is angular and bracing. With Coleman doubling on organ and Speed adding clarinet and tenor saxophone, this disc showcases impressive musicianship and distinctive compositions. --Mitch Myers
