    Nate Chinen - Take Five WBGO:

    Drummer and composer Jeff Davis has a long track record of exploratory actions, and on his new album — The Fastness, on Fresh Sound Records — he enlists a cohesive crew with precisely the same concerns. His band mates, who come to the table with some 20 years of cooperative history, are saxophonist Tony Malaby, keyboardist Russ Lossing, guitarist Jonathan Goldberger and bassist Eivind Opsvik.
    They practically throw themselves into this music, as you can hear on a track called “Mountains, Mountains, Water,” which seems to draw loose inspiration from sources ranging from the Mahavishnu Orchestra to John Zorn’s Naked City. The band will surely take Davis’ material to new places during an album-release show on Thursday at Greenwich House Music School, courtesy of the Sound It Out series.
