ROBERT HURST: BoB: A Palindrome Bebob, 2013 POSTBOP – Excellent, deep-running music from a top bassist leading an all-star septet. These tunes all have a balance of dark atmosphere and forceful rhythm, with the kind of unforced cohesion that only the best bands can really pull off. Sometimes heavy, often funky, all great. Robert Hurst : bass Marcus Belgrave : trumpet, flugelhorn Branford Marsalis : saxophones Bennie Maupin : flute, bass clarinet, saxophones Robert Glasper : piano, Rhodes Jeff "Tain" Watts : drums Adam Rudolph : percussion All excellent! Fo’s Picks: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9 Tracks 5-7 are a suite but can be played separately. 1. 7:20 – brisk, dusky waltz with flute: solos (including bowed bass) really sing 2. 4:16 – dark, sneaky stroll: very cool electric piano, trumpet & soprano sax 3. 8:25 – perky midtempo glide with a latin touch; sax really turns up the heat 4. 6:37 – rolling drums set up a cool, bluesy drag: sax and piano solos unfurl 5. 1:38 – shrouded in mist: dark, creaky drone and atmospheric percussion 6. 7:15 – slow, exotic elegy with brooding melody, African rhythm, soft flute 7. 12:56 – deep solo bass, striding post-bop blues, a fiery sax duet pulls it forward most of the way, then it ends in chaos 8. 7:51 – relaxed and very soulful with tinkly keyboard and slinky latin rhythm 9. 5:55 – uptempo, angular modern-bop, quick-walking bass & peppy drums 10. 6:28 – streetwise jamming, everybody’s conversing [ Fo ] - 20 March 2013 | ||
