RAVI COLTRANE: Spirit Fiction Blue Note, 2012 MODERN JAZZ – Saxophonist Coltrane (son of John) fronts two bands here, a quartet and a quintet, each bursting with A-list jazz talent. The music has a freewheeling openness and a shadowy tone, with everyone pulling in the same direction but finding their own ways to get there. Joe Lovano sits in for 9 & 10. Very fine, rewarding listening. Ravi Coltrane : tenor & soprano sax BAND ONE (1,3,4,6,7,11) Luis Perdomo : piano Drew Gress : bass E.J. Strickland : drums BAND TWO (2,5,8,9,10) Ralph Alessi : trumpet Geri Allen : piano James Genus : bass Eric Harland : drums All tracks excellent! Fo’s Picks: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 1. 5:04 – scattered band comes together gradually, hops & pops with freedom 2. 7:30 – dusky, striding feel with sax rolling over active, shifting rhythm 3. 2:28 – dark rhythmic sketch, really fine quartet interplay, reaches out 4. 6:47 – slow ballad, quite lovely; subdued sax, long bass solo, aching piano 5. 6:33 – open sax/trumpet intro, thoughtful quintet drive, great horn dialogue 6. 2:21 – drum/sax duet: big-city bustle with good rapport 7. 4:03 – free-sounding quartet: twisting, intertwining lines anchored by drums 8. 6:50 – a slow mope, rises gently: liquid horn/piano interplay, quiet bass 9. 7:26 – Monkish odd-bop, three horns and stuttering rhythm, solos stretch 10. 4:12 – unusual trio: two saxes + piano, moody meanderings in open space 11. 5:43 – shadowy sound, questioning soprano sax melody, perks up later [ Fo ] - July 2012 | ||
