VICIOUS WORLD: Plays the Music of Rufus Wainwright Spinaround, 2011 MODERN JAZZ – This unique septet is dedicated to interpreting the work of singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright in an instrumental jazz context. The arrangements are compelling, and the playing is solid. Sax and clarinet embroider the trombone’s lead voice as a tight rhythm section deepens the mood. Guitar adds a sharper edge, countered by the elegance of violin and cello. Really nice stuff all around. All tracks very good. Fo’s Picks: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 1. 4:41 – midtempo, shuffles forward: sax & guitar have an air of anticipation 2. 3:19 – sweet ballad: strings & clarinet dance softly under trombone lead 3. 6:48 – gritty guitar sets up a slow rock stomp, trombone chatters & argues 4. 6:26 – slow melancholy: strings ebb & flow, soloists drift gently, so sweet… 5. 6:33 – nostalgic waltzing tune, lovely trombone/clarinet/violin interplay 6. 3:44 – relaxed circus-music march, bounces with a wink, martial drum break 7. 3:52 – off-balance, slight dissonance, rises from low creep to airy mystery 8. 1:53 – formal strings and warm horns merge in a brief nostalgic wave 9. 6:18 – uptempo, churning: tart guitar tone, winding sax solo, urgent bass 10. 2:04 – slow: free guitar over sluggish unison melody & string drone 11. 6:22 – warm, elegant melody: edgy guitar, calming bass, sax reaches out [ Fo ] August 2011 | ||
