As a daring musical iconoclast, the drummer Bobby Previte could probably give John Zorn a run for his money. An associate of the radical saxophonist-composer since the 1990s, Previte releases Mass, a kind of Catholic equivalent to Zorn's Jewish Masada project. Following the garage-y jazz skronk of Gone in 2016 comes a psych jazz-metal rearrangement of the Renaissance period composer Guillaume Dufay's mass cycle, ‘Missa Sancti Jacobi’, with pipe organ music that's inspired by Olivier Messiaen. Amen choirs are surreally yet effectively juxtaposed with head-banging rock, grungy jazz and hazily transcendent organ atmospherics. There's a passionate assertiveness in the work's execution and no sign of the post-modern irony that one might ordinarily expect from what is ostensibly a musical match made in hell. Having said that, I'm not entirely sure the CD would be too welcome posted through the Vatican letterbox, though it would certainly be a good test of the current Pope's broad-mindedness.
