Composed by Michael Moore except as noted
Recorded June 1988, Orkater Studio, Amsterdam
An early Available Jelly Quartet; the instrumentation scaled down to two horns, bass/tuba, and percussion. Original compositions and covers of Brian Wilson and Misha Mengelberg.
"The 1989 album from Available Jelly, In Full Flail narrowed down the
band's physical lineup while extending its musical reach. Down to a
quartet, the band included Michael Moore on saxophones and piano, Gregg
Moore on tuba, trombone, electric bass, and mandolin, Michael Vatcher
as master drummer, and the new addition of Eric Boeren on trumpet and
cornet. The music here was composed by Moore and Boeren, respectively,
their different compositional styles all ironing out in the arrangement
stages of tunes such as Boeren's dreamy, song-like "Stars Fell On
Zaandam," which becomes a swinging, slow grooving blues number in grand
Jack Teagarden cum Euro vanguard cum funky street-style. Moore's own
"Beauty," that figures the sweet squawk of the free improviser's gait
against the simmering, slow stroll of the frontline in a parade before
it mutates into a simmering little groover graced by a murky and funky
marimba, before changing again -- to cop a phrase from Robert Fripp and
King Crimson's "Larks Tongues in Aspic, Part 1." Elsewhere there's a
cover of Brian Wilson's "Catch a Wave," done without poking fun at the
tune while having a ball with the arrangement. There is also a
delightful cover of Misha Mengelberg's "Kneebus" that lasts under three
minutes! Once again, Available Jelly combine the absurd with the
sublime, and bring to bear all of the facets of jazz and various
popular musics from the Middle East, Europe, and America, to posit
their own take on the present and future of jazz." By Thom Jurek, All Music Guide.
