Futterman, a Chicago native who now resides in the East, is one of the few pianists who has the mental and physical equipment to be usefully influenced by Cecil Taylor.
His group here (alto saxophonist Jimmy Lyons, bassist Ricard Davis, drummer Robert Adkins) mirrors the basic sound of the many Taylor units that have had Lyons as their horn voice, and Futterman also strives for Taylor`s aura of near-unrelieved, breakneck intensity.
It`s much to the leader`s credit, though, that the results sound more personal than one might expect--perhaps because the challenge of playing in this manner is so extreme that, amid the blizzard of Taylor-esque patterns, Futterman`s own vision eventually has to emerge.
