		When he trills on a single low-register note at the beginning of their second hour-long set, you can hear tiny changes in its harmonic content, modulating like the filter sweep in an old synth.
		Lloyd Swanton plays double bass, an orchestral one with a low extension.
		At their most intense moments you can't tell who is playing what, but the quiet moments are equally beguiling because their music develops so slowly, so unpredictably.

		Swanton’s lovely bowed upright bass solo on Eastbound Train’ is one of the album’s undoubted highlights, but Bruce Reid, who penned seven of the 10 tracks, is the leading light on an album that creeps up surreptitiously on the unsuspecting listener.” Tony Hillier editor of Barfly.com.au

		But seemingly tireless bassist Lloyd Swanton still uses his acoustic model to shape the rhythmic foundation of the one, more than hour-long piece that makes up the CD.
		Masters of understatement, mostly unobtrusive Buck and steady fingered Swanton are able to shift and accelerate the tempo almost inaudibly.
		Soon, as Buck begins cross sticking and Swanton's beat stays forthrightly solid, the pianist redoubles his dynamics and feeds harder organ or electric piano chords into the mix.

		LLOYD SWANTON: That’s a very difficult question because I feel like I can modestly say that what we’re doing is very different to what anyone else is doing anywhere.
		LLOYD SWANTON: I think there are elements of ‘minimalism’ in what we do, but I think that sometimes, when things get particularly frenzied, we’d have to be described as ‘maximalist’, to say the least.
		LLOYD SWANTON: Stylistically, often the bands are often very, very different, so as a professional musician, I'm always trying to provide what is most appropriate within those stylistic bounds and yet still try to come up with something creative and stimulating.

		It is clear from the outset that this is some of the grooviest Australian jazz to have been released in the last little while.
		Borthwick takes the jazz tradition and experiments with it, pushes it in new directions, drawing from African rhythms, folk melodies and funk grooves, and his work has plenty of heart, plenty of the essence of musicality in it.
		Borthwick has filled in for James Greening in Lloyd Swanton's popular band The Catholics but differences outnumber similarities.

		The Necks are an Australian instrumental combo formed by three veteran session-men: Chris Abrahams (piano), Tony Buck (drums) and Lloyd Swanton (bass).
		Lloyd Swanton also leads the Catholics, a more overtly jazz combo, who have released four albums, starting with The Catholics and Simple.
		With a stronger sense of the groove than its predecessor (and a touch of African polyrhythm), the amalgam of Tony Buck's tribal drums, Lloyd Swanton's repetitive bass lines and Chris Abrahams' wavering piano meditations is a classic of casual conversation.

	Sticking their Neck out - www.smh.com.au
		In achieving this, pianist Chris Abrahams, bassist Lloyd Swanton and drummer Tony Buck have redefined hipness on their own terms, appealing to both a Triple J audience and a jazz one, as well as to what Swanton evocatively calls "beard-strokers".
		Sex aside, Swanton attributes some of the Necks' crossover appeal to Abrahams, who has played with such bands as the Whitlams, the Triffids and Midnight Oil, as well as to the transparent nature of their music-making.
		This aspect of process and product being the same thing, says Swanton, "is something we had in mind when we first started all those years ago".

		Because of this concept, Swanton adds echoing fuzz-tone electric bass lines at certain junctures, while Buck's rat-tat-tat percussion includes the sort of strident back beat he would now avoid.
		Oscillating reverb from add-on electronics is still part of his repertoire, though, and here it brings additional color to the alternately menacing and atmospheric tones that outline the theme.
		A lighter rhythmic impetus courtesy of Swanton's unvarying bass line and Buck's shaken and scraped percussion add sophistication to the foot tapping.

		The music starts afresh, with four separate piano lines occurring together, one growling in the lowest register, while Swanton bows one protracted note.
		With the oncoming and subsiding piano phrases and Buck's work on the cymbals the music moves in waves of different length and scope, rippling and heaving at the same time.
		With long bowed notes in different registers Swanton rubs shoulders with the piano phrases adding a resonating ring to them, until only the decaying spectral glimmer of the open piano strings is left, and silence takes up center stage definitively.

		These players come from the cream of a Sydney jazz scene which is as strong as you would expect from such a cosmopolitan, dynamic metropolis.
		Both bassist Lloyd Swanton and trombonist and trumpeter James Greening are band-leaders in their own right.
		It is brilliantly underpinned by Swanton, while Bartram cajoles first Cody, then the trombone of Greening into letting their hair do#wn * not that I think they needed much encouraging on such an inherently fun-filled excursion.
