The “Resonance Impeders” represents a modern jazz/improvisational troupe willing to seek out previously uncharted musical frontiers. Simply put, alto saxophonist Briggan Krauss, bassist Chris Dahlgren and drummer Jay Rosen are among the best and brightest of a genre that some are now referring to as the – “new music”. These chaps continue to reinvent the tried and true, as they respectively possess individual voices, which at times, distinguishes them from many of their peers. On the opener, “Say Then But The Two Gone”, Krauss exhibits his unique darkly hued tonalities amid fleeting lines, as the band pursues an abstract type Indian raga motif in conjunction with Western style scales and polyrhythmic back beats. Here, the saxophonist blows exuberant, high-octane choruses and prophetic statements. With “Ant Farming Cousin”, the musicians engage in emotive dialogue as Krauss’ buzz-saw attack contrasts Rosen’s playful utilization of bells, whistles and the traps, while Dahlgren perpetuates thick, rumbling notes. Hence, the band takes the listener on an unlikely voyage to some inexplicable, far away land. The band’s inventiveness continues on “All That Dies Gladly Dies” as they get down and dirty via a loosely implemented New Orleans shuffle groove marked by surrealistic qualities, thanks to Krauss’ darting and jabbing motifs and Dahlgren’s subdued yet effective employment of electronics. Basically, these musicians continue to surge past boundaries that often represent stumbling blocks for more than just a few. Overall, the music is intellectually stimulating yet affably entertaining! ~ glenn astarita, allaboutjazz.com

Not a pick-up band, the Impeders have recorded for CIMP once before. At All Costs Unknown, however, is a pick-up recording. A nearly 70-minute recording-and a long 70 at that-At All Costs suffers the kind of pitfalls that often trouble off-the-cuff and not terribly inspired free-improv studio dates approached with little (read: no) preparation. No pressing musical ideas stretch the longer tunes out to their considerable duration. Ambient passages (read: warm-ups in search of direction) and dead spots do-especially on "Say Then but the Two Gone" and "Ant Farming Cousin." Not to say that all the shorter cuts are especially tight either. And yes, all the tunes have dorky titles. Perhaps the player of highest profile among the three, alto saxophonist Briggan Krauss (Sex Mob, Wayne Horvitz's Pig Pen) spends most of the recording trading in textures. In his better moments, Krauss adds another layer of rhythm to what is already a rhythm-oriented group, almost like a perverse Maceo Parker. Much of the time, however, Krauss leans on repeated phrases or long bouts of clucking and burbling without generating much interest. The real reason to check out At All Costs is the rhythm section team of drummer Jay Rosen and bassist Chris Dahlgren. Dahlgren's subtly distorted bass and Rosen's inventive drumming drive this music and engineer its brighter moments
