“Blackwell” is a standout track from Fermentations, the debut album by post-jazz quintet Root Cellar. They take a collaborative and exploratory look into jazz, and bend it with their genre-defying blend of angular hard bop, motorik grooves, and eruptive post-rock textures. “Blackwell” is as cerebral as it is visceral, it spins a poignant central theme into motion, allowing it to evolve organically across trumpet, cello, guitar, bass, and drum.
