JAZZ TIPP JAZZ TIPP JAZZ TIPP
Muziek tussen Bebop, Postbop, Modal Jazz, Funk & Fusion, en Hip Hop. Of eenvoudig: GROSSSTADT JAZZ, welke er geen betere zijn. Op If Only For A Night is de begenadigde Trompet speler bij deze Live doorsnede uit de New Yorker Iridium zo overtuigd en pakkend aan te horen, wat zelden voorkomt! Satte Beats en Grooves en dolle Solo’s –levendig, spirit en totaal New York!
////////////////////////////////////////
Recorded live at New York’s famed jazz club the Iridium, Wallace is backed every step of the way by the core band which has been with him since Prototype. With brother Antoine on reeds, bassist, Rashaan Carter and the new faces of keyboard star Aruán Ortiz and drummer Kush Abadey, the band delves into a sonic landscape laden with modern funk grooves and chop-heavy soloing. IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT is full of provocation. Roney and company aren’t necessarily presenting an ideal of where jazz is today, but rather a lush representation of the genre’s possibilities. There are glimmers of bebop, postbop, Trane, Herbie Hancock, Weather Report-ish funk & fusion, hip-hop and, of course, Miles Davis, but yet the music always sound freshly-wrought and never derivative. This music is challenging, vivacious and, above all, soulful. Line Up:
Wallace Roney, trumpet; Antoine Roney, soprano & tenor saxes; bass clarinet; Aruán Ortiz, keyboards;Rashaan Carter, bass; Kush Abadey, drums
