1.	Pratsch 05:22	lyrics
Who are we? Where do we come from? What do we do? Who are you? Where do you come from? What do you do? How do you do? How do we do? How do we do it? How do you do it? What is it? What was it? What will it be? Can you see it? Can you feel it? Can you smell it? Can you taste it? Can you hear it? Can you measure it by weight, height, length or perhaps by duration? If you can measure it by duration, what happens between the beginning and the end? How long will it last? When will it end? How do we know when it’s over? What happens when it’s over? Did it already start?

8.	Who Nation-State Isn’t 04:43	lyrics
Where corona can’t play? What civil society is? Why slow travelling isn’t made? Who ”corona” has said? When agriculture hasn’t gone? Who trust can make? Who? Corona is done. How? Slow travelling hasn’t done where borders havent. Said who? Civil society has done. Who? Civil society hasn’t said. Why nature can be? When home has made. Who? Corona can’t go where nature can be.

about

An organ trio like no other, Finnish saxophonist Mikko Innanen, Danish drummer Stefan Pasborg and French Hammond hero Cédric Piromalli are back to twist traditions and confound conventions.

Following on from their gloriously impish Clean Feed debut, 2021’s This Is It, comes the uber-fusion feast of Can You Hear It?, an album giving the eminent Blue Note histories of Jimmy Smith, Brother Jack McDuff and Larry Young an extra adrenaline hit, Piromalli souping up the keys for extracurricular soul-fusion kicks and spacing out like Sun Ra hammering the hyperdrive on an interstellar love mission.

These three funky trailblazers sit at the top table of their respective scenes, boasting a combined rap sheet of revered co-conspirators that reads like a heavenly who’s-who, the names of those they have worked with including Andrew Cyrille, Han Bennink, William Parker, Wadada Leo Smith, Paul Lovens, Will Guthrie, Tim Berne and Tomasz Stańko. All that combined experience and knowledge is filtered through into the deft chicanery of Can You Hear It?, its nine contrasting cuts finding Innanen, Pasborg and Piromalli at the peak of their expressive powers, effortlessly shifting from muscular swing and riotous retro-futurist vamp to doleful sci-fi séance and poignant balladry in a heartbeat.

During one of her two spoken-word cameos featured on the album, Canadian clarinettist and improviser Lori Freedman acts as the group’s surrogate voice piece, accompanied by Innanen’s passionately chirruping sopranino and Pasborg’s thudding percussive detonations. “Who are we? / Where do we come from? / What do we do? How do we do? / How do we do it?”, she asks in a natty flow of enquiry doubling as a statement of intangible intent, a suitably defiant anti-manifesto from one of the most intrepid, shape-shapeshifting triumvirates active in jazz today.
