Year One by Heartland Trio

http://heartlandtrio.bandcamp.com/album/year-one

Self-identified as avant garde, free, and even experimental this is in fact very mainstream nu jazz or whatever. That doesn’t mean it’s bad. It’s fine. If it just had a hodgepodge or meaningless tags (something BandCamp has fortunately pretty much eliminated) I wouldn’t be forced into the assumption that these Bloomington, Indiana rubes don’t know any better.

Well the album starts with “Resolution” and pushes very softly into the avant garde toward the end.

There’s a few moments but then it only sounds like an identity crisis.

Honestly if it wasn’t mislabeled I would review it more fairly.
