VINNIE CUTRO / NYC SOUNDSCAPE: Sakura Royal Music, 2008 MODERN JAZZ – Acid-toned trumpeter Cutro and friends brew up a heady post-bop mixture here. The five original tunes have great presence and demand attention, while the treatments of standards are fresh and incisive. This is a bold mainstream disc, and it's a winner. * * * * | Fo’s Picks: 3, 4, 5, 7 1. 6:43 – dramatic intro, then churning groove; trumpet burns, good trombone 2. 7:19 – strolls with a heavy tread: sax chatters, trumpet arcs high 3. 7:07 – uptempo bop propulsion over standard chords, solos slice smoothly 4. 9:08 – bluesy standard: trumpet tosses & spins the melody… very cool 5. 8:02 – streetwise hard strut, 1970s feel: sax/trumpet clamber up a steep hill 6. 5:23 – classic tune, quick and funky but with a sarcastic/cynical edge 7. 8:36 – headlong groove: fine piano, agile sax, busy trumpet, happy drums 8. 8:58 – fresh approach to “Round Midnight”… it’s late, but nobody’s asleep 9. 5:31 – wide stride with a funky touch, horns pass it around 10. 7:03 – serious (but not somber) sound, tick-tock rhythm [ Fo ] 02/08/09 | ||
