Free Music Notes for Jazz Side of the Moon: Music of Pink Floyd
Free Music Review: A very interesting listen
Hit: 4 Stars
These are somewhat loose interpretations of this classic record. They take harmonic and melodic liberties with the music that are very much in the spirit of jazz, but it still maintains the atmosphere of the original. The group is made up of premier players, and they have very good chemistry for a one-off band.
For me, the drum work of Ari Hoenig is the highlight of the record. His feel is loose and the groove constantly shifting, but his time is always solid. He is also able to play with great fire and intensity without being too loud or having too much clutter. This is my favorite type of drumming.
Sam Yahel is also great on the Hammond B-3. He often plays hypnotic, repetitive figures that serve the music perfectly. When he takes the lead, there is never a wasted note - everything is always in good taste.
Mike Moreno, who I was not so familiar with before hearing this, is a nice addition to the band. He is a very fluid soloist, and adds nice textures and colorations to the music that often recall David Gilmour's classic work on the original recording.
Seamus Blake is also a great player. However, there are times that he doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the band in my opinion. I think his tone is different here than on his great 2007 session as a leader "Way Out Willy." This may have something to do with the way "Jazz Side" was recorded, but regardless, I prefer his playing on the aforementioned "Willy."
Highly recommended, whether you're a fan of the Floyd or not.
