Review

Material delivered their Bitches Brew with this, the group's most influential and fully realized work. By this point, the original core trio of bassist Bill Laswell, drummer Fred Maher, and synthesist Michael Beinhorn had seamlessly locked into their avant-funk-jazz-fusion groove, providing combustible soundscapes for a stellar lineup of exceptional guests. Billy Bang's violin work is a revelation, as are suitably skronky contributions from guitarists Sonny Sharrock and Fred Frith. After Memory Serves, Maher would leave to join Lou Reed, and Laswell evolved into the George Clinton of world music. But for this one album at least, Material had the power. --Billy Grenier
