While drummer/composer John Hollenbeck chose to title his debut recording No Images, what becomes clear quickly is that there is indeed a visual analogue to every piece on the album. In some cases the images are specific and concrete; in others they're more impressionistic and subject to interpretation. One could even posit a visual counterpart for the two sets of completely abstract miniatures. But one of the most remarkable things about the disc—a long overdue documentation of one of New York's most impressive contemporary musical artists (and best kept secrets)—is the sheer range and diversity of compositional strategies he employs to evoke his gallery of unseen imagery.
