Safari joe blessing9/1/2023 ![]() During the solo on "Play Ball,", the sharp crack of Patitucci's upright bass string slapping the neck, sounds as if he were in the room next to you. Blade's brushes or plastic tipped sticks can be heard ever so gently tapping cymbals, while one swears Lovano's breath can be felt passing over the reed and continuing down the tube. The sound production on this CD is crystal clear. "Joe Hen" highlights Blade's more aggressive side, while "Scenes From an Opera" adds a bowed bass and string quartet, creating a softer effect. The lower bass tones of these tracks appeal to this reviewer more than the guitar sounding "Meditations" and the short title track. Songs such as "Messaien's Gumbo" and "Mali" center on a bass arpeggio, while Lovano and Patitucci solo in circles. Patitucci dons his six-string electric, as well. Intended to revamp the jazz trio, and pay homage to jazz greats who had influenced him, Patitucci (with Joe Lovano on tenor sax, and Brian Blade on drums) does not merely imitate such icons as John Coltrane, Ray Brown and Elvin Jones, but invokes their spirit that radiates with every measure of tracks like ""Monk/Trane," "Sonny Side," and "Blues for Freddie." Seven of the eleven tracks feature John on acoustic bass, whose solos, accompanied by gentle cymbal and snare work by Blade, evoke the aviance of the soulful jazz sound. John Patitucci not only goes back to his jazz roots, but transforms his audience back to an age when contemporary jazz was molding a truly American art form. ![]() If you've never envisioned a smoky, dimly lit subterranean Chicago jazz club filled with the hauntingly beautiful sounds of three cats jamming into the wee small hours of the morning, listen to this CD. Nur kompositionstechnisch wäre ' bei dem hohen Niveau ' mehr drinnen gewesen Meisterlicher, vibrierender Tenor-Ton, Themen-orientiertes, elegant-ungestümes Schlagzeug und ein gewohnt virtuoser (und trotzdem Musik-dienlicher) Bass machen das Album zu einem beeindruckenden Hör-Genuss. Ersteres ist definitiv gegeben, zweites nur bedingt. Um bei Trio-Jazz (ohne Harmonie-Instrument) die Spannung über ein ganzes Album aufrecht erhalten zu können, bedarf es nicht nur außerordentlicher solistischer Fähigkeiten der Beteiligten, sondern auch kompositorischer und soundmäßiger Abwechslung. Der Kenner kann aus der Besetzungsliste schon den Rückschluss ziehen, dass es sich hier nicht um ein ' wie bei Patitucci oftmals üblich ' Fusion-Album handelt, sondern um modernen, sehr freien Mainstream Jazz. Erwähnenswert auch Patitucci's Frau Sachi, die mit ihrem Cello den Track 'Scenes From An Opera' gehörig aufwertet. ![]() To learn more about how and for what purposes Amazon uses personal information (such as Amazon Store order history), please visit our Privacy Notice.ĭas John Patitucci Trio besteht neben dem Protagonisten am Kontra- und E-Bass aus Joe Lovano am Saxofon und Brian Blade am Schlagzeug, gelegentlich erweitert um Percussionist Rogerio Boccato.
