LUIS BONILLA: I Talking Now! Planet Arts, 2009 MODERN BOP – Hot trombonist Bonilla has put together an excellent band of like-minded individuals for a strong, confident set that takes no prisoners. None of those wishy-washy, mopey-moody modern jazz tone poems here: even the ballads have balls! There’s also lots of evolution within the tunes, which rarely end where they began. Great stuff. Luis Bonilla - trombone Ivan Renta - saxophones Arturo O'Farrill - piano Andy McKee - bass John Riley - drums * * * * * | All tracks good! Fo’s Picks: 1, 2, 5, 6 1. 6:52 – yow! hits fast and hard; speedy round of solos, then a fun swagger 2. 6:46 – goes from lumpy to steely to gliding… ideas almost cut each other off 3. 8:43 – gentle intro, then a firm, heavy stride; gets funky, then sneers & rolls 4. 5:56 – slow but sturdy ballad: very nice horn dialogue; tender piano 5. 8:48 – steady drums, dragging horns; a hard-edged walk, ready to pounce! 6. 5:34 – relaxed but rhythmically tricky: horns unite and break off, drift awayyy 7. 7:07 – bright, straightforward with a latin touch, solos swing nicely 8. 7:19 – easygoing, blooming ballad: electric piano gives it a 1970s feel [ Fo ] 10/11/09 | ||
