CD Reviews

Astonishing beauty

echoes of empires | San Francisco, CA USA | 08/17/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"In Explorations Evans is at his most gorgeous, lyric, and thoughtful. As another reviewer said, "Nardis" and "Israel" are my favorites, with wonderful melodic lines and enchanting improv, and to my mind are unmatched in his catalogue. Explorations is likely not only my favorite jazz album, but favorite album in any genre. Much has been written about the intricate interplay of the trio, and it's all true, especially concerning LaFaro's basswork; but Motion's brushwork is great as well, interacting with the others with intricacy and almost melody-like flourish. It's a sad tragedy that LaFaro died soon after this recording, for one can only wonder how great he'd be today.
