Free Music Review: THIS GREAT ACOUSTICAL JAZZ TRIO IS A TRIUMVIRATE !!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Five ACOUSTICAL Stars!! This CD captures a great jazz 'Triumvirate' bristling with freshness, inventiveness, and new musical horizons. Jazz bass colossus Stanley Clarke formed this trio with his old 'Return to Forever' (RTF) drum stablemate Lenny White and the enormously-gifted Japanese jazz keyboard artist Hiromi. Mr Clarke is on both acoustical upright double bass violin and acoustical bass guitar. Messrs Clarke and White are indelibly linked with splendid 'RTF' keyboard titan Chick Corea. Hiromi, influenced both by Chick Corea (see Duet (Chick Corea & Hiromi) and piano legend Ahmad Jamal, is a formidable pianist/synth artist who leads her own high-energy dynamic groups, such as 'Sonic Boom' as heard on Time Control. Despite the players individual electric/fusion roots, these performances are all acoustical (and Clarke 'ups the ante' playing shoulder-slung acoustical bass guitar on the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under The Bridge"). The repertoire consists of jazz fusion, standards, bebop, funk, and Japanese fusion impressionism and everyone is in superb form.
The 'best of the best' begin with the incredible "Global Tweak" with Clarke and Hiromi getting off some prodigious solos amid their interactions, with White sitting out. The most successful performances begin with the programmatic "Paradign Shift" and and the shimmering "Sakura Sakura". "Brain Training" is wonderfully complex and finds Hiromi swinging hard as Clarke and White push her along and solo in their own right. The beautiful "Sicilian Blue" has Clarke bowing in a rare beautiful demonstration of his superb acro abilities before Hiromi breaks free for a great but brief solo. "Someday My Prince Will Come" is a huge Clarke solo with ethereal backing. "Take the Coltrane" has Stanley and Lenny in a wonderful dialogue that is a 'wink back' to the legendary interaction of Trane's guys Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones. The attractive theme "3 Wrong Notes" has a great solo by Hiromi, showing the influences of Bud, Bird, and Bill pushed by Stanley's idiomatic walking ability. Joe Henderson's "Isotope" is hard-swinging trio joy and Hiromi's left hand, soloing at times, is amazing showing her true ambidextrous ability that puts her in a special class of keyboard wizardry. This is an outstanding trio performance that works on many levels: individually, collectively, and compositionally: wonderfully recorded with all players at a clear, high level on the CD soundscape. Kudos to all concerned. This CD is Highly Recommended. Five EMPATHETIC Stars!
