about

John Butcher - saxophones
Dominic Lash - double bass
Emil Karlsen - drums

Here And How, with the young drummer Emil Karlsen, is a first time encounter. Butcher matches the drummer’s light touch with a more quizzical, probing approach. Their dialogue has a balanced, self-regulating quality that reminds this listener of how Butcher has previously found ways not to overwhelm the quick decays and low volumes of acoustic stringed instruments. This leaves plenty of room for the session’s actual string player, double bassist Dominic Lash, to wax both mercurial and economical; there’s nothing spurious in his jumpcuts between buzzing resonance and carefully wrought shapes.
The Wire - Bill Meyer
