I would chase      the setting sun          along the horizon                          if it meant                          that I could rest                          my head                          upon                     your chest....          To lose myself      For the remainder Of my days

Harrow the Ninth calligram—does this count as fanart?

Ever since I read the first paragraph of chapter 36 of Harrow the Ninth, I knew I had to do something with it. Finally got my personal gothic-like handwriting to a place I liked so I figured it was time.

Some making-of stuff under the cut.

I'll level with you guys—warping and tracing that tattoo until it looked right took way longer than drawing the mecha-tank.

Russ Johnson Quartet — Reveal (Calligram)

Reveal by Russ Johnson

Four seems to be an auspicious number for Russ Johnson. While the complement of the trumpeter’s combos may change, they usually number four musicians.  Reveal is also part of another quartet, since that’s how many records Calligram, the musician-run label that is issuing it, offered in its inaugural release. The artist and company are well matched, since they share a disregard for the boundary between modern jazz and more avant-garde variants. One might even say that the album’s apparent mission is to show how much space really lies between inside and out.

The musicians accompanying Johnson are up to the task. They are all Chicagoans, which attests to the Johnson’s status as a not-just-honorary member of the city’s jazz scene even though his day job and abode are both situated north of the Illinois/Wisconsin state line. He’s put in the miles since 2010, when he accepted a position as the director of jazz studies at University of Wisconsin/Parkside, coming south to lead his own bands and play with others. The casting of this quartet is inspired. Ethan Philion is a young bassist with undeniable chops and a documented affinity for the music of Charles Mingus; he’s Johnson’s philosophical second on this date. Drummer Tim Daisy is a multi-decade veteran of Chicago’s improvised music scene, where he’s worked as an enduring associate of Ken Vandermark and Dave Rempis, and led his own projects, which have sometimes included Johnson. Violinist Mark Feldman is a longtime New Yorker with a yards-long cv. and the sort of versatility that you only get when you’ve put in time with George Jones, John Zorn and Sylvie Courvoisier.

Feldman relocated to Chicago during the pandemic and in short order kindled an initially private working relationship with Daisy. They’ve gone on to work together in mainly improvised settings, and their partnerhsip places the drummer at the apex of a relationship triangle that gives the performances on Reveal an essential zing. On one side, there’s a camaraderie developed by passing back-and-forth leadership roles and books of tunes. On the other, there’s a rapport forged in the real-time furnace of free improvisation. This breadth of understanding puffs stylistic and emotional oxygen into the diverse and intricate frameworks that Johnson has devised for the quartet. His writing shuttles between classical forms and blues sonorities in ways that’ll get the history-minded listener thinking about Julius Hemphill. While the forms and emotional arcs of the material feel pretty defined, there’s plenty of room for Johnson’s fellow travelers to adorn, comment, and maybe wiggle the steering wheel a little bit. “The Slow Reveal” starts out with a slow stir of timbres, which gradually resolve into a mournful horn melody that is pricked by vinegary strings. As Johnson persists, the rest of the ensemble shifts between challenging and supportive stances before joining him in a percussion-driven whirlwind that remains reflective and melancholy at its core.

But if Daisy was the relational focal point of this band going in, the emerging connection between Feldman and Johnson is what the material cultivates. The compositions guide them to commingled slurs, execute cascading lines, and offer commentary upon one another’s solos while Philion and Daisy either shade the action or set up rhythms sturdy enough to contain it. Feldman’s an old pro, so it goes without saying that he finds a way to make this music work. But this album feels like a beginning. Johnson tends to shake up the personnel of his quartets, not all of which make it to the recording studio even once. Here’s hoping he breaks his own rule and keeps this combo going for a while.

The legendary phoenix or simurgh made up of the Arabic words for strength, love, hope, rise, faith and protection: القوة ، الحب ، الأمل ، تنشأ ، الإيمان ، الحماية This type of calligraphy design is often termed a zoomorph, words creating the shape of an animal. Sometimes the words form a tightly bounded shape. In this case I preferred much looser strokes to give the feeling of the bird rising up in ecstatic flight full of strength and hope.
