Tim Berne’s third ECM album, You’ve Been Watching Me, sees the saxophonist-composer again leading his dynamic New York band Snakeoil, but with the quartet now a quintet with the addition of guitarist Ryan Ferreira. The group’s 2013 release, Shadow Man, garnered Berne some of the highest praise of his career as a composer and bandleader, with The Guardian praising the album for its “unrelenting eventfulness” and JazzTimes marveling over how the leader’s music has grown “wilder and deeper.” DownBeat put it this way: “This music rocks and thinks, explores, deconstructs and, yes, it swings, in its own identifiably angular, Berne-ian way.” With You’ve Been Watching Me, Berne has hit a new pinnacle with his writing just as his band has reached a heightened state of collective interaction. Snakeoil – with the leader on alto sax alongside Matt Mitchell (piano and electronics), Oscar Noriega (various clarinets), Ches Smith (all manner of percussion) and Ferreira (electric and acoustic guitars) – can still be bracingly kinetic. But there is new space in these compositions and more lyrical focus to the improvisations, leading to a dramatic, even cinematic experience in such tracks as “Embraceable Me.”

Snakeoil, from 2012, was Berne’s first studio album after nearly a decade of live recordings; the music represented not only a new band but an exciting new era in the leader’s work, more harmonically rich and detail-conscious. Shadow Man, released the following year, aimed to document the powerful dynamics of the confident, road-honed Snakeoil band, virtually live in the studio. You’ve Been Watching Me – recorded, like Shadow Man, at the Clubhouse in upstate New York, with production and mixing by ECM veteran David Torn – documents a further evolutionary leap. “I look at studio records as like little movies,” Berne says. “And rather than make a sequel, I’d always rather make an entirely new movie.”
