Reviews by S. Victor Aaron http://somethingelsereviews.com/2011/12/06/half-notes-tyshawn-sorey-oblique-i/ Drummer and composer Tyshawn Sorey is said to one of up-and-comers whose due for an arrival. Gaining notice as a member of Steve Coleman's Five Elements, Steve Lehman's combo as well as Pete Robbins' sILENT Z, Sorey's also studied under Anthony Braxton and is currently studying under George Lewis. But he's not waiting to finish his studies to make his mark, and his third album Oblique-I sounds to me like this is the arrival everyone's been predicting. Aided by Loren Stillman (alto sax), Todd Neufeld (guitars), John Escreet (piano, electric piano) and Chris Tordini (bass), Sorey creates fractured, labyrinthine melodies, à la Henry Threadgill, that are very effective in creating tension amongst all the players, and also allows Sorey to reveal just what a skilled rhythmist he truly is. “Forty” (video of a live performance below) give testimony to that. “Seventeen” is another standout, a tale of two distinct, dynamic rhythms each of which Sorey undertakes with lethal, precise force as Neufield's acoustic guitar provides an unlikely perfect sparring partner. Tyshawn Sorey is a name to remember, and Oblique-I is plenty enough reason why not to forget it. -- By Derek Taylor http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/6736 By John Litweiler http://www.pointofdeparture.org/PoD37/PoD37MoreMoments7.html By Mike Shanley http://jazztimes.com/articles/28842-oblique-i-tyshawn-sorey By Daniel Lehner http://www.allaboutjazz.com/tyshawn-sorey-composite-reality-tyshawn-sorey-by-daniel-lehner.php Da Negrodeath (it) http://freefalljazz.altervista.org/blog/?p=4625 Por Jesús Gonzalo (es) http://www.noiself.blogspot.com/2012/05/tyshawn-sorey-oblique-i.html
