The Clusone Trio (which is comprised of Michael Moore on clarinet, bass clarinet, and alto; cellist Ernst Reijseger; and percussionist Han Bennink) perform avant-garde music that even haters of free jazz will enjoy due to their crazy (yet accessible) humor. For this highly recommended CD, the trio interprets 19 Irving Berlin songs, turning them inside out yet usually showing respect for the original melodies. Their versions of such songs as "There's No Business Like Show Business," "What'll I Do," "A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody," and "White Christmas" are quite unique. This is a CD worth taking a chance on. ~ Scott Yanow
