British psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott coined the term “transitional object” to refer to items that toddlers fixate on — a security blanket or a cherished stuffed animal — in the early stages of loosening their bonds with their mother. The members of the angularly inclined Philly trio Transitional Objects are anything but teddy bears, however. Guitarist Nick Millevoi applies his cerebral shedding to the contortionist prog-jazz of Many Arms and the minimalist skronk of his duo with trombonist Daniel Blacksberg, Archer Spade. Blacksberg’s trio shares the other two members of Transitional Objects: bassist Matt Engle, also a part of The Scriptors, Feeler Gauge and Sonic Liberation Front; and drummer Mike Szekely, who has studied or recorded with avant-jazz masters Milford Graves and Anthony Braxton.
