Craig Matsumoto Reviewed 2003-07-26 | ||
All-acoustic trio (guitar, violin, bass). Lots of fast solos, usually with one member taking the fore and the others providinga loose, open backdrop. Different personalities at work here ... 1 and 9 are like regular jazz, while 6,7,8 are a chamber-music suite written by Dave Douglas. 1*- Old style swingy with some crazy-fast solos, especially on guitar. Mid/fast, happy. 2*- Strong chamber start, very open feel for rapid abstract soloing 3- Slow beat, mildly Asian feel. Starts with a bass solo. 4- Upbeat, spritely. With a slower abstract interlude in the middle. 5- Placid guitar start, very pretty melody. Yuppie/ECM'ish. Peaceful. 6- Fast pulse, almost like Philip Glass 7- Slow and swirling' 8- Peaceful, classical-sounding 9*- Mid-fast, spritely gypsy jazz |
