Rock and world-music bassist Jah Wobble and free-jazz saxophonist Evan Parker may seem like an odd pairing on paper, but Passage to Hades is a surprisingly fruitful collaboration. With support from two folk instrumentalists (who play pipes, flutes, and horns) and a rock drummer, Wobble and Parker have created a hypnotic, boundary-breaking album that is an imaginative combination of jazz, dub, European folk music, and rock. Parker and the reed players weave their ghostly lines in and around each other with a natural-sounding ease, and it's this riffing chemistry that serves as a potent reminder that jazz isn't the only musical form to incorporate improvisation. Well supported by the rhythm section's sturdy foundation, of which Wobble's cavernous dub riffs are the cornerstone, the musicians communicate with jazzlike verbosity through the four tracks here, which add up to 50 minutes of music. Imbued by the spark of inspiration, this album is for fans of these musicians and anyone interested in great music that defies categorization. --Tad Hendrickson
