Fuhler—Bennink—de Joode, Tinderbox (CD)

This Dutch trio plays a bit of everything on 2002's Tinderbox. It ranges from their idiosyncratic take on piano jazz to some quite abstract workouts with Fuhler on melodica or keyolin. The coupling of Bennink's spirited energy on drums with Fuhler's more chaotic approach to melody is always odd and fascinating. The album is sometimes a bit too diverse to follow, but it's often a fun or distinctive listen, and at its best moments both qualities come through.
