I've always liked Mario Pavone, but wow, this album really knocked my socks off. Great inside/out jazz, accessible modern stuff that's packed with tangly, complex ideas, free-jazz soloing, and some tough-handed bass playing by Pavone. Thick-fisted stuff with an edge; tough playing that shows the callouses and digs deep. Fast, hard playing can be found on every track; play any and all. FCC clean. Mario Pavone (bass) Tony Malaby (tenor/soprano sax) Jimmy Greene (tenor/soprano sax, too) Peter Madsen (piano) Gerald Cleaver (drums) 1- Upbeat, with cheery declarative horns. Gets stormy, gruff, and ferocious during the first sax solo. 2- A tough kind of post-bop swing. Deliciously dense piano solo. 3- Fast patter, complex horn line. Gets fierce in spots. Wild piano solo. 4- Gets a bit tipsy/crazy. A breezy toughness: Lightly thudding bassline, languid horns over a skittish piano. Settles into a nice pulse and a good bass solo. 5- Manic and dizzying. They sure keep the piano busy. Applies a looser touch for the solos. 6- Quick 80-second blurb, part keystone cops. 7- A fast, heavy snap. Grabs you immediately. Tumbling space for solos. 8- Tangly bass solo. Dives into a chugging, tense theme. Slows up for some soaring solos. | ||
