KRBAVAC SALESNY DOLP: An orgy without casualties. Just let it hurtle by. Continual red alert, nothing is unthinkable, everything imaginable coming around the next corner – on a scale of tsunami to chamber-musical delicacy. You cannot be angry at this music. Ideally, just hold your breath.
Clemens Salesny and Niki Dolp have reawakened the old madness, in the person of Karl Wilhelm Krbavac, who – silenced by the pandemic – was on the point of selling or mothballing everything. Krbavac has been improvising for 50 years and has an archive of 6500 notated compositions. He has played unbridled blues, twelve-tone music, early music (in order to refine his extreme bowing technique). After mastering double bass, piano, harpsichord, and cello, he transformed himself into the world's first free-jazz gambist, severing the viola da gamba from its roots in the Renaissance. For decades he was a member of the Reform Art Unit, an avant-garde collective that boasted over 200 collaborators during its existence, including numerous giants of the scene. "Karl had an unusually strong voice and artistic identity in this large formation," relates Niki Dolp, a Reform Art Unit alumnus himself. "He's incredibly stubborn, musically radical, and extremely motivated. His ideas are hyperactive in a sense, but you can't leave any of them out." "At the same time," adds Clemens Salesny, "he never plays over anyone else; he hears everything, and he communicates. The younger scene doesn't have much contact with this first generation of free jazz musicians. We absolutely wanted to do something with him." Their gut feeling was right. Clemens Salesny is a co-founder of the JazzWerkstatt Wien and one of Austria's most sought-after saxophonists and clarinetists; Niki Dolp has rapidly established himself as one of the top drummers in the scene. Both are known for their pursuit of nontraditional sounds and explorations of roads less traveled. The guiding principle of this trio was that each member should have the freedom to do whatever they wanted at any time, a condition giving a free hand to their propensity for exploring outside their comfort zones – not just on their usual instruments, but on crackle box and gong (Salesny) and piano (Dolp).
Die Liebe wird siegen (Love Will Prevail), in its range and intensity, shows just how far free improvisation can go. The electricity that sparks between KRBAVAC SALESNY DOLP from the first moment of the album is a phenomenon requiring complete mutual trust – and a cosmic stroke of luck. "We had endings that were just magical, sometimes all together in a single stroke," says Niki Dolp. "When you think about how many moments in an improvisation are potential endpoints…these precise endings prove that we're all feeling the same dramatic arc, that we're all breathing together." Each of the three musicians is a master of their instrument(s); each has long since arrived at the rarefied level of mature artistic personality. In order to act freely at such a high level, an immensely strong aural connection must be forged. At the same time, each of the voices has its own choreography and could well exist independently of the others.
The energy conjured by this collective takes on a life of its own. The guests on Die Liebe wird siegen don't sound in the least like afterthoughts; they are integrated into the matrix from the first moment on. You can hear it when the uncommonly high-caliber vibraphonist WOODY SCHABATA launches directly into a bre...
