“Dial” is a fresh new release of “FMR Records”. An album completely based on free improvisation and avant-garde jazz, was recorded by four featured jazz masters – it’s John Edwards (double bass), Dave Fowler (drums), Sue Lynch (tenor saxophone, clarinet, flute) and Dawid Frydryk (trumpet, flugelhorn). Unique sound, splendid virtuosity, bright, original and inspiring playing manner, strong contrasts, millions of emotions and expressions, extended playing techniques, traditions and innovations – all these elements contain the basement of their music.

Intriguing changes, twisting turns, sparkling riffs passing down to murmuring, swirling, vital, shrieky or passionate solos – that’s the base of “Dial”. All four musicians are demonstrating their own point of view, expressive, enlightning and alive playing manner filled with extended playing techniques, Sonoristic Experiments, abbreviations, trills, glissando, vibrato, growls, wah-wah, and dozens of other coloristics, gently brought together. An independent and emotional melody line is leaded by reeds and brass section. Sue Lynch is a talented saxophone player, she combines together soft flute’s whistles and relaxing tunes, expressive, moving and dynamic saxophone and emotional clarinet. These instruments make a contrasting and dynamic mood which is always in change. Hot growls, full blasts, dizzy passages, swingy lullabies, relaxing pieces, minimalistic samples, tremendous culminations of trumpet and remarkable elegant flugelhorn’s melodies are brought in the compositions by Dawid Frydryk. Both musicians are getting on deep contemplations with repetitive series, monotonous tunes and soft chords which are joined together with soft flute’s whistles, lyrical solemn pieces, gentle and vivid solos played in fragile and subtle mood and accompagnied by furious, growling, passionate and bursting breaking sessions. The episodes played in solemn and relaxing mood consist of elegant and remarkable flugelhorn, soft vital flute and some excerpts of vivid, expressive and moving reeds. Finally the melody line is rising on striking, luminous and expressive culminations – it’s filled with swirling, twisting, roaring, hysteric and scandalous solos, furious exclamations, tremendous culminations, full blasts, furious persecuting sessions, breaking riffs and sonoristic experiments. These episodes are played in active and expressive, sometimes in furious, scandalous and thrilling mood, which makes an effort to suggestive, independent and exclusive melody line. Trumpet, saxophone and clarinet are the leading instruments who form the main melody line and bring tremendous, dynamic and vital mood to whole album. John Edwards double bass is an universal instrument which makes an effort to different sections – it brings more colors, expressions and sounds to the melody line, extended, strange and evocative ideas to the instrumental section, and makes a dynamic and moving rhythmic basement along with drums. Here repetitive series form a deep stable bass line and are passing to passionate vibrant sessions, thrilling culminations, breaking riffs filled with perturbations and blasts of energy and go deep down in haunted, dark and depressed pieces, solemn lyrical solos or deep sophistications with sonoristic experiments and radical, provocative and original musical decisions. Drums section is dynamic and bright, based on fusion of modern jazz styles and free improvisation – expressive complicated bop, aggressive hard bop, steady beat related to cool are integrated to luminous culminations, roaring breaking sessions, impressive free improvisations with astonishing sonoristic experiments. That makes a bright, passionate and driving rhythmic section. This album’s music is inspiring and innovative, filled with evocative ideas, original decisions and surprises.
