Football commentators often suggest successful offenses seem to be running downhill. Saxophonist Adam Larson, bassist Clark Sommers and drummer Dana Hall achieve a similarly impressive form of forward momentum on With Love, From Chicago. With the strength of a rumbling L train in the Windy City and with the agility demonstrated at a Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey recital, the trio powers and dances through a burly set of improvised music on the new album. Currently affiliated with the University of Missouri- Kansas City, Larson’s roots are in Chicago. Fittingly, he reconvenes with Sommers and Hall on With Love, From Chicago. Their uncompromising assault evokes the distinctive sax/bass/drums format sometimes employed by Sonny Rollins and Rudresh Mahanthappa. Listeners of With Love, From Chicago should prepare to brace for the bruising hits delivered by the muscular trio. Helmets and pads are optional.
