Review

The NRG Ensemble's rough-and-tumble jazz improv is an entirely unique affair. Along with tenor saxophone-mate Ken Vandermark, two bass players, and a drummer, Chicagoan Mars Williams explores the legacy of free jazz to great effect. Honking and squealing like a pair of wild boars in heat, Williams and Vandermark show remarkable empathy to each other and their equally talented bandmates. There are also some sober interludes on this disc, which showcase the instrumental virtuosity of all involved. While Williams' saxophone debt to tenor titans Albert Ayler and John Coltrane has yet to be paid in full, Bejazzo Gets a Facelift is a mature effort from a seasoned band of improvisers. This is modern avant-garde jazz with real rock sensibility. Dig it. --Mitch Myers
