Linernotes
Angelology,
Perry Robinson's first CD for Timescraper, is named for an almost forgotten branch of knowledge. But according to Matthew Fox and Rupert Sheldrake in "The Physics of Angels", the universe was long held by Hildegard von Bingen and Aquinas among others to be dense with the traces of meaning left by these invisible beings darting from here to there with instantaneous ease, carrying messages, their songs offered in praise of the underlying harmony of it all.
And who knows? Maybe angels are the real historians, who when story of jazz in the 1960's is told will have revealed several forgotten truths. Among these will surely be the pivotal role Perry Robinson had in moving the jazz clarinet into the post-bob era by taking it back to Dodds. Teschmache and Russell and then redirecting it along the line through Shaw, Scott and Griffith. For Perry, summoning up a choir or two of angels emerges as the logical culmination of several decades of burrowing beneath the modern world's austerity programs for the occult lore buried there. So it is that on "Angels" a kind of ancient cantus firmus is laid down, the bass line beneath the hymnal main statement ripening into full-throated gospel as it alternates first with a state of free angelic communication and then with the demonic echoes of the fallen ones.
