The Fifth Risk

What are the consequences if the people given control over our government have no idea how it works?    "The election happened," remembers Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, then deputy secretary of the Department of Energy. "And then there was radio silence." Across all departments, similar stories were playing out: Trump appointees were few and far between; those that did show up were shockingly uninformed about the functions of their new workplace. Some even threw away the briefing books that had been prepared for them.    Michael Lewis' brilliant narrative takes us into the engine rooms of ... [Read More]

Personnel includes: William Hooker (drums); Roy Nathanson (saxophone); Andrea Parkins (accordion, keyboards); Jason Hwang (violin, electronics).Includes liner notes by William Hooker.As a distinctively original drummer, William Hooker has made an indelible mark on the New York music scene, playing with everyone from David S. Ware to Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo over the course of his long career. THE BLACK MASK, Hooker's first studio outing of the 21st century, finds him pushing the boundaries of modern jazz ever further. As Roy Nathanson's questing sax lines interact with Jason Hwang's cascading electronics and Hooker's own muscular drumming, one is reminded of the glory days of 1960s NYC free jazz a la Archie Shepp, Sunny Murray, et al.However, not only is ELEVATED no throwback to improv's past, it's a bold step into the future of experimental music. Alternately turbulent and contemplative, this is "jazz" only in the sense that it features traditional jazz instruments working in an extemporal mode. Ultimately, this is contemporary American music; full of fire but informed by a sense of structure that allows dramatic moments to build, stormy passages to ebb and flow, and tonal lyricism to pervade even the most frictional scenario.
