Free Music Review: Nice But Not The Cat's Meow
Hit: 3 Stars
I was captivated by the reviews so I acquired this and have now listened to this a few times. This collection does have virtues. Primarily, Kurt Rosenwinkel's guitar is interesting and innovative, and the textures - pipe organ, bass clarinet, etc. - give this band a different and refreshing sound at times.
Still, I am not blown away and upon repeated listenings bored rather than enthralled. The main draw back is that I just don't find the compositions to be that interesting. Many are in this somber/pastoral kind of vein but more somber than pastoral and I just don't find that they provide interesting canvases for the soloists. Many leave Brian Blade almost too far in the background - democratically supporting compositons rather than stepping out. Also, the textural variations from electric stuff to more acoustic based stuff, while a neat concept, somehow come across to me as disjointed as a lisening experience. The CD as a whole does not flow for me.
Speaking of textures, I have always loved the tonality of the bass clarinet. But I would advocate Eric Dolphy or Don Byron. And again, Kurt Rosenwinkel is an interesting and innovative guitarist. I would check him out in other contexts - if I am not mistaken Paul Motian's Garden of Eden Band. Now there's one that merits 5 stars!
This IS an interesting CD and a neat group of musicians. The five stars just don't shine for me.
