  • Not many of the prominent downtown players of the '80s took part in the weekly Mingus Big Band gigs so touted at the time. The highly imaginative altoist Tim Berne certainly wasn't one of them, although 1989's FRACTURED FAIRY TALES stands as one of the greatest tributes that the iconic bassist-composer could have ever hoped for. Like Mingus, Berne skillfully employs a small group--a combo really--over an ever-expanding canvas slowly taking shape in his fertile musical mind. Outside of a film score, this is some of the most purely imagistic music ever recorded--with a stellar cast, including drummer Joey Baron and bassist Mark Dresser, playing their parts in a benignly grotesque theatrical piece, like SHREK for hipsters. The crown jewel, "Evolution Of A Pearl," is an awesome 19-minute journey through some heady compositional twists-and-turns--for all the soloing on display, it's still the supple rhythm section of Dresser and Baron that really astonishes here.
