There is a punky intensity to Disrespectful and a bravura flow of unrelenting bright-as-a-button ideas that always reward close inspection.

The JZ Displacement sound shares something in common with the gutsy and always thrusting Melt Yourself Down experience. Pete W. and co like to rustle up a heat of furnace-like intensity too. But Zhenya Strigalev has other irons in the fire. There is less honking and the drums are less thunderous.

Instead more canny detours are built in and around the verdant maze-like melodies. And the trio manages to swerve well away from the zany traffic cones that mysteriously sprouted overnight as the sax, bass and drums career ever on.

Listen closely and there is a lot more bebop than anyone else occupying this same dissentient space currently provides.

One of the impressive things about this record is how it sounds like the present time rather than the 1940s even when it borrows widely from jazz styles whether bebop or via the wiry bass guitar, jazz-rock. Oh and Zhenya plays with a lot of spirit and heart and invites us all in.

Jamie Murray on drums has a wildness to him that suits the sound well while Tim Lefebvre delivers plenty of curveballs. Together they tightrope along.

A record full of serious fun, check the interview with Zhenya Strigalev here for a little more detail, and see the guys live as they progress around the country. You'll get a kick out of their sound that transfers to record because Disrespectful has a life to it you can't just magic up. And what a contrast blazing a trail this all is to a lot of dull dinnerjazzery out there cluttering up – however neatly the cutlery is respectfully arranged – even the best places. SG
