Review of Trio Accento's "Extant Blues," featuring Kenneth Froelich's POLARIZED

Polarized has received a positive review, along with Trio Accento’s entire album “Extant Blues!” From the article:

“The opening piece, Polarized, has a repeated, asymmetrical ostinato pattern that helps unify the work as different contrasting sections provide intriguing rhythmic interest.  The pattern itself has a samba-like pattern that helps give the work its energy.  Rather fascinating is the way the work’s arc begins with the instruments in unison and then diverging outward into quite distinct, and often contrary explorations of the material.  Kenneth Froelich’s work builds towards this extreme conflict and then pulls back to a unison conclusion providing a musical allegory for our current society, hence the title.”
