From this album, Joe's music begins to have more clear fetures of quest and trial for new expression, getting out of normal "Free jazz" at that time. Result is wonderful by not only Joe but also sharing attitude to seek creativity by other two.

This is valuable record of young days of Joe McPhee. Live recording of Joe McPhee & Survival unit II on 1971. One year before, Joe issued two important albums of his early
days, namely “Nation Time” and “Black Magic Man”.

I have no idea about Survival unit I, when this existed, consisted of who, any recording has been issued, sold in vinyl’s, CDs. Though I researched on web, I could not find out Information.

Anyway, it is interesting for funs of Joe McPhee to know that, after one year of issuance of important works in his early days, how “Survival Unit II” was as jazz combo, and what kind of music they generated.

In this album, first three titles are more or less typical free jazz tunes of that time. And the later three titles have new and experimental elements, which lead to Joe’s music of later years.

Joe McPhee, Peter Brötzmann, Kent Kessler, Michael Zerang - The Damage Is Done

Joe McPhee: trumpet, alto saxophone
Peter Brötzmann: alto & tenor saxophones, tarogato, b-flat clarinet
Kent Kessler: bass
Michael Zerang: drums

This live date features legendary free jazz pioneers Peter Brotzmann and Joe McPhee, and Chicago's leading rhythm section, bassist Kent Kessler and drummer Michael Zerang. The four also make up 4/10 of Brötzmann's Chicago Tentet, maybe the most successful large new music jazz ensemble ever assembled.

As they have in the past while touring with the Tentet, they step away and perform in this more intimate lineup. This quartet has released two previous recordings, Tales Out Of Time (hatOLOGY, 2004) and Guts (Okka, 2007), with The Damage Is Done's two discs recorded live at Alchemia in Krakow, Poland in March of 2008.

While the players can (and do) perform volatile energy jazz here, their preference is for music that's dissectible enough for the players to be distinguished in parts and direction.

The obvious reference point here is the legend of Albert Ayler and his brother Donald. Brötzmann has never shied away from his admiration for free jazz's holy ghost. With Brötzmann on tenor and McPhee sporting the trumpet role, the attention to Ayler can be heard on "With Charon" and the title track (all 30-plus minutes). Brotzmann and McPhee's stamina, both nearing 70, is impressive. The pair delivers an onslaught of energy with a relentless attack, the only pause being for Zerang and Kessler's solos. With that, the pace slows, allowing Brötzmann to paint from a different palette. This gentler approach acts as a collection point before the music again spreads its energy patterns outward.

Kessler and Zerang open "Alchemia Souls," with itchy bowed bass and sound effect brushes on drums. Brötzmann enters, playing a persistent tarogato before McPhee's twitchy alto joins. The rhythm section maintains the energy through constant motion. The more affable music making here comes at the urging of the rhythm section. Slowing down the pulse or playing with mallets coaxes the horn players to decelerate and clarify the sound.

The breadth and power of these four players comes through with an exhaustive clarity in this crisp and vigorous live recording. (from ALLABOUTJAZZ)
