"There’s a smattering of high-literary references on “The Horns Band” (Fresh Sound New Talent), an engrossing new album by the jazz bassist Matt Pavolka. Don’t get too hung up on them, or you might scare up more questions than answers — begin to wonder, for example, why “Vheissu,” inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s novel “V,” worries a single melodic phrase in a way that seems better suited to “Recollected Forward,” named after Kierkegaard’s concept of repetition. Anyway, what matters is Mr. Pavolka’s intently soulful writing for the cornetist Kirk Knuffke, the trombonist Jacob Garchik, the alto saxophonist Loren Stillman and the drummer Mark Ferber. Drawing from contemporary strategies as well as the small-group music of Duke Ellington, his compositions accomplish a lot with earthy beauty and shifting momentum. At their best, as on “That Night the Blind Man Dreamt That He Was Blind” (for José Saramago), they suggest a gradually forming picture."
Nate Chinen (September, 2014)
The New York Times
"Is this good music for reading? It’s a fair question, since all the compositions on bassist and occasional trombonist Matt Pavolka’s new album are named in tribute to books by Cormac McCarthy, José Saramago and Thomas Pynchon, among others. So, would The Horns Band provide pleasing accompaniment, or a distraction? Probably the latter, but that’s a good thing.
The Horns Band is aptly named—the frontline is composed of Kirk Knuffke (cornet), Loren Stillman (alto saxophone) and Jacob Garchik (trombone), backed by Pavolka and drummer Mark Ferber. These are highly regarded players on the New York scene, capable of bringing new ideas to virtually any situation and here they overcome what could initially seem to be a strong limitation. The three horns blend together into a swirling fog; unaccompanied solos are extremely rare. Almost every time one man takes the spotlight, the other two are swaying back and forth behind him.
On the ballad “Lullaby”, the rich tones of cornet and trombone harmonize effortlessly behind the saxophone, like old-time singers backing a romantic crooner. On the klezmer-ish mood piece “That Night the Blind Man Dreamt That He Was Blind”, by contrast, the threesome wind around each other like dancers. And when the tempo gets more frantic, as on the opening “Acid Metacognition”, everyone jumps and bounces, at times launching into joyous polyphony. Behind all this harmony, Pavolka and Ferber are working just as hardas their frontline compatriots. A tight, telepathic rhythm team, they lock into hard-swinging grooves that keep the horns from drifting too far afield and make sure they give everything they’ve got.
This is a surprising album in many ways—a display of collective effort that nevertheless still permits individual expression to shine through; a set of thoughtfully written compositions that gives the illusion of being a blowing session; a tribute to great literature that’s almost perversely ill-suited to serve as background music."
