RICHARD BOULGER: Blues Twilight b-1 Music, 2007 SOARING POSTBOP – Richard Boulger’s trumpet burns brightly here, commanding attention with a soulful, punchy sound that recalls the consciousness-raising jazz of the 1960s and ‘70s. The late pianist John Hicks adds depth and spirit to five tracks (1,2,3,5,10), while Anthony Wonsey’s more introspective piano gives a thoughtful spin to the rest. All good. Fo’s Picks: 1, 2, 3, 7, 10 Tracks 4 & 11 are solo trumpet interludes, both very nice. 1. 2:22 – rising, spiritual sound, overlapping horns & lovely piano 2. 7:07 – midtempo: catchy fanfare, flaring trumpet, moody sax, uplifting piano 3. 8:35 – ‘60s Miles Davis sound, haunting melody & pleasing solos 5. 7:35 – takin’ it easy: a swinging midtempo stroll 6. 6:58 – gentle ballad, trumpet calls to the skies, relaxed flute 7. 3:20 – burning trumpet/drum duo improvisation, bop sound 8. 5:45 – midtempo postbop swagger: solid trumpet, furtive sax, strolling piano 9. 8:40 – tender piano intro, sad slow ballad, picks up later 10. 8:56 – relaxed tempo: cool melody, angular soprano sax, soaring trumpet 12. 8:41 – flowing, serious sound; thoughtful horn solos & uplifting piano [ Fo ] 20-Jan-08 | ||
