Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This masterful work is more off-kilter than its Slightly Askew title promises. It's the long-awaited follow-up to Time Capsule, the 1996 debut from this Birmingham-based alto saxophonist, composer and arranger. Between discs, Bowden has worked with 4Hero, Basement Jaxx and The Herbaliser, as well as leading his own jazz trio.
The opening "Only Angst" might send a few jackrabbits running; its discordant catharsis shaped by blaring horns, swirling strings and scrambled vocal samples. Everything's spilling in at once as Bowden's alto writhes at the centre, jazz flecked with soul, leading this lumbering powerhouse as it crushes all in its path. All four numbers are around 15 minutes long, but not a moment is wasted. Perversely, "Crockers And Killers" would have made a more commercial opener, with Liz Parkes' soulful vocal hanging around a slow-ish drum 'n' bass skip, subtle brass shadings surrounding flute, bass and alto solos. The halting slog of "ZOO ZOO" transports straight back to the 70s, horn ranks pecking around its flappy funk muscle. Then, to close out, "W'p De f'n' Doo" lunges straight into a sax-drums tussle, then coasts into a breezy Latin piano solo, followed by a dense percussion work-out. An instant classic...--Martin Longley
