Jazz
Recorded: 2004, Park West Studios, Brooklyn, New York
John McNeil (trumpet, producer); Allan Chase (baritone saxophone); John Hebert (bass instrument); Matt Wilson (drums, Slide Whistle)
The master trumpeter/composer creates a revolutionary new music here, applying the classic West Coast jazz sound of the Gerry Mulligan-Chet Baker Quartet to the sensibilities of modern creative improvised music. Eminently listenable, enjoyably inventive!

John McNeil had the idea of applying some of Gerry Mulligan's arranging principles to free jazz after arranging some of the late baritone saxophonist's music for a tribute band. Recruiting baritone saxophonist Alan Chase, bassist John Hebert, and the much in-demand drummer Matt Wilson, McNeil's experiment creates some provocative music. "Deadline" features a constantly shifting time signature, changing its mood throughout the piece, contrasting it with the more steady and loping "A Time to Go." McNeil's humorous take of "Bernie's Tune" (long a part of Mulligan's repertoire, though written by Bernie Miller) quickly takes it away from its roots for a wild ride on his horn into the world of free jazz. He also adapts Arnold Schoenberg's 12-tone classical music into his realm with his playful arrangement of "Schoenberg's Piano Concerto." Throughout the session the band is up to the challenges of McNeil's compelling music, producing a provocative CD that should open ears for decades to come.
---Ken Dryden, All Music Guide
Down Beat (p.71) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "McNeil brings out the improvisational potential of the lineup while acknowledging the enduring popularity of Mulligan's music."
JazzTimes (p.121) - "McNeil is a trumpeter of easy poise and bright imagination, and he sounds like he's having fun here." |
