Amazon.com Leave it to the folks at OmniTone to find thrillingly original talent--or to bring together inspired collaborations between veterans (as on 1999's Saturn's Child, a spare meeting between pianist Frank Kimbrough and vibist Joe Locke). Saxophonist and clarinetist Oscar Noriega falls into the label's "young talent" camp and here fronts a spectacular quartet of veteran drummer Jim Black, guitarist Brad Shepik, and trumpeter Cuong Vu (who also hit big on OmniTone with Bound). Noriega has a rasped tone that weaves into unflappable expanses, only to jar the floor in a flash with bolting, jostling exclamations. Vu's got a full-throated roar on brass, with Black sticking often to a tempo, which shows off his control and talent at diminutive punctuations. Shepik, multilingual at all times on guitar, fits in always, sometimes jabbing, sometimes sending up six-string yawps that prod the band to unexpectedly sweet heights. --Andrew Bartlett Similarly Requested CDs

CD Reviews4 stars (can't change it) leo | Beijing, China | 09/25/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "it's been a year since I wrote the following review, which was within 2 weeks of getting this record, and some of its shine has worn off. some tracks are still beautiful, but this is not music I have returned to again and again.
________________ bold and subtle, challenging and beautiful, playful and oh so serious... this is modern jazz that breaks new ground yet is full of humanity... virtuosity of the players does not get in the way of the message, which is so clearly pronounced, thrilling and lovely, and cannot be transcribed into words. I put this up there with the best jazz records of all time." |
