EITHER/ORCHESTRA: Mood Music for Time Travelers Accurate, 2010 MODERN BIG BAND – This oddball ensemble out of Boston always puts an interesting twist on mainstream jazz. After detouring through Ethiopia for a few years, this CD gets back to home ground. Creative tunes with a Latin touch; some catchy & fun, others shifty & elusive. Fo’s Picks: 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 1. 5:37 – catchy, lopsided shuffle: breezy sax, quirky trumpet, staged applause 2. 6:16 – very cute Latin ballroom tune: playful baritone sax, wry trumpet solo 3. 6:02 – frictionless glide at first, then layered & ominous; lots of percussion 4. 9:42 – sneaky walk picks up reggae beat; spacious trumpet & sax solos 5. 6:27 – Latinized tune keeps things hopping: multiple flavors, dark ending 6. 8:24 – slinky Ethiopian groove with an air of mystery and big band bursts 7. 4:50 – drum time: busy percussion thing, horn accents, second half grooves 8. 7:18 – cool funky jam, shifts ground as diverse influences drift in and out 9. 10:01 – warm Caribbean tune: lazy pace, odd meter make it slightly surreal 10. 11:55 – rides a steady pulse: piano digs in, soulful sax, prodding trumpet [ Fo ] 11/06/10 | ||
