Review: Menagerie are a nine-piece 'spiritual jazz' combo from Australia, headed up by The Bamboos main man Lance Ferguson and featuring acclaimed pianist Mark Fitzgibbon, a veteran of Gilles P's legendary Dingwalls sessions. This is the fourth album and their third for Freestyle, and suffice to say fans of their previous output won't be disappointed. Nor will anyone with a taste for 'proper' jazz from the Miles Davis/John Coltrane/Ornette Coleman school of thought: the title track, with its frenetic backbeat and spoken/poetic vocal, nudges towards broken beat territory, while there's a soul-jazz feel to 'Kingdom'... the other four tracks, though, could have been laid down at any time since about 1960. In the best possible way, you understand!

Review: It's been over four years since The Bamboos' Lance Ferguson and decorated Australian jazz pianist Mark Fitzgibbon last blessed the world with extended Menagerie players such as They Shall Inherit and Shapes Have Passed, but the wait has been worth it. As teased by last year's single, The Arrow Of Time is a dramatic jazz odyssey. "Evolution" sets the tone with theatrical dynamics and powerful gospel backing vocals while both "The Arrow Of Time" and "Escape Velocity" ramp up the intensity with turbulent rhythm changes and insistent horn narratives. "Spiral" and "Nova" flip for a hazier contrast where Fitzgibbon's keymanship and fingerwork beckon us into a modal wonderland. Time flies...
