BEN GOLDBERG: Subatomic Particle Homesick Blues BAG Production, 2013 AVANT-MODERN JAZZ – Ben Goldberg, a top Bay Area clarinetist who’s led or played in a long string of innovative bands, has another great quintet on this inside/outside date. It’s a bit surprising at first to hear mainstream sax star Joshua Redman along for the ride, but he sounds pretty darned comfortable in Goldberg’s oddly-shaped sonic world, an improv-based space colored by blues, klezmer, and swing. Ben Goldberg : clarinets Joshua Redman : tenor sax Ron Miles : trumpet Devin Hoff : bass Ches Smith, Scott Amendola : drums Try any track. Fo’s Picks: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 1. 3:55 – relaxed intro skips into a twisty/perky lopsided bounce 2. 5:36 – laid-back bluesy theme, clashing conversation, lumpy bass/drum duo 3. 2:52 – sax/clarinet duo: they spin in close but not identical orbits 4. 4:01 – bright and jaunty with solo space for happy sax & off-kilter drums 5. 4:39 – love the rhythm section & winding sax solo in this slinky march 6. 5:56 – slow drag with nice horn harmony, beefs up to bold, boozy swagger 7. 4:50 – drifting horn trio slips into a brooding & mysterious quintet 8. 7:35 – down-home bluesy feel on this old country tune, with tattered edges 9. 5:52 – meditative bass clarinet leads into an oddball, snappy groove 10. 2:02 – very knotty interlude for the three horns 11. 4:18 – sweet, friendly-sounding tune, from plain simplicity to 5-way improv [ Fo ] - 23 February 2013 | ||
