Bassist Michael Janisch’s new live double album, Paradigm Shift, is a groove-centric ride in a souped-up engine. Its moving parts are clearly in all working order, shifting and flowing like they were built that way. The rhythm section of Janisch, drummer Colin Stranahan, and pianist Leo Genovese are outstanding. Stranahan is constantly moving with so many flourishes in the beat, one must keep a steady ear on the bombs he’s dropping on the regular. Meanwhile, no one comps like Leonardo Genovese. In a BLT of combos of these, Genovese is the finest of heirloom tomatoes. However, the work Paul Booth is doing on tenor saxophone, bass clarinet, and the freaking didgeridoo alongside Jason Palmer’s trumpet is the best toasted bread with some spices in it.

Perhaps using two metaphors is going too far to describe such a work, but Janisch is releasing a double album here– a riveting live recording from May 2011 at London’s Pizza Express Jazz Club. There’s so much going on here that one metaphor can’t contain it. Check out a stream of “Movement I – Paradigm Shift Dance” below before its October 16 release.
