MICHELE ROSEWOMAN’S NEW YOR-UBA: 30 Years Advance Dance, 2013 LATIN JAZZ – Pianist Michele Rosewoman celebrates three decades of blending folkloric Cuban music with modern jazz in a joyous, supremely listenable two-disc set. It’s a large band but the feeling is very friendly and almost intimate, like a family, perhaps because Rosewoman’s lyrical piano is front and center throughout. Most tracks have vocals in Spanish. Really fine performances from all. Fo’s Picks: Disc 1 – any track! Disc 2 – 3, 4, 6, 7 DISC ONE 1. 5:40 – lovely melodic eleggua invocation: a free-flowing band conversation 2. 7:48 – dancing midtempo with rich percussion and upbeat group vocals 3. 11:56 – midtempo, with a dramatic, overlapping feel & strong vocals, nice piano/trumpet dialogue and vocal chant near the end 4. 8:23 – very modern, angular & playful: solos whirl over a striding groove 5. 4:09 – funky/jerky percussive strut: hard-hitting male vocal, horn breakdown 6. 9:10 – call & response intro; very cool electric groove with deep percussion 7. 3:13 – gorgeous piano weaves through a vocal duet DISC TWO 1. 8:05 – steps carefully, steady percussion & vocal chorus, oblique harmony 2. 9:08 – nice urban rumba: vocal interplay over deep perc & bright piano 3. 4:49 – neat sound here: strutting rhythm, spirited piano & vocal, sax break 4. 11:12 – very interesting: odd hopscotch horns slip into an angular electric vibe, slippery solos from Rhodes, trumpet; hot drum jam ending 5. 7:33 – trilling bird sounds & mostly-English vocal, slow horn-section break 6. 5:00 – cool broken-down strut: jabbing piano & horn confusion; chant at end 7. 9:08 – gently rocking call & response, glides forward with serene elegance [ Fo ] - 29 September 2013 | ||
