2005, Smalltown Superjazz
Coming after the sax trio and the sax-drum duo, The Thing (Gustafsson on tenor and baritone, Nilssen-Love and fellow Norwegian Ingebrigt Flaten on bass) is a jolt. The concept behind this album is progressive renditions of modern and classic garage music, with two originals and a Brotzmann "composition" thrown in for good measure. Here the currency is sheer power and the simple forms allow Gustafsson to bellow, Nilssen-Love to bash and Flaten to pluck feverishly. - allaboutjazz
