Jazz
Recorded: September 2007, Jay Anderson's Studio, New Paltz, NY
John Abercrombie - guitar
Jay Anderson - bass
Dave Liebman - soprano saxophone, wooden flute
Adam Nussbaum - drums
The follow up to The Nuttree Quartet - Standards which received 4-star reviews in all the major jazz magazines and has since become a modern classic. This (Another) Nuttree Quartet) which has Adam Nussbaum and John Abercrombie at its core, sees Dave Liebman on saxophone (in place of Jerry Bergonzi) and Jay Anderson on bass (in place of Gary Versace on B3 Hammond). This is yet again a set of standards played with exquisite beauty.
Something Sentimental
Note by Adam Nussbaum
This special project came about in 2007. In May, we all played together for a party to honor my mother Muriel, who had passed away in April at the age of 83. My Mom had always said that she wanted a celebration, not a funeral. Family and friends gathered together to reminisce and we played songs that my Mom had enjoyed throughout her life.
It was an emotional time; and it was so nice to make music with these wonderful musicians, as we have been treasured friends for over 30 years. Because it felt so good, we decided we should record.
This is dedicated to the memory our dear parents.
John & Elizabeth Abercrombie, Kenneth Anderson, Leo & Frances Liebman, Erv & Muriel Nussbaum and those incredible people who have touched our lives.
The list is long... they live on in our hearts.
I not going to talk about the music. It simply is what it is.
I hope you enjoy "Something Sentimental".
[Another] Nuttree Quartet is similar to the debut of the Nuttree Quartet's debut release issued in 2008, though this time, the personnel changes somewhat. Drummer Adam Nussbaum (whose last name translates from German to English as "nut tree") and guitarist John Abercrombie are once again on hand, with soprano saxophonist David Liebman replacing tenor saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi and bassist Jay Anderson instead of organist Gary Versace. This quartet, whose members had known one another for several decades, gathered in the studio to celebrate the life of Nussbaum's recently deceased mother and it is clear that joy was present rather than sadness as these seasoned musicians worked their magic with eight time-tested standards. While "Poinciana" is all but owned by Ahmad Jamal with his famous recording, the quartet's intimate, conversational interpretation itself deserves high marks. "I Hear a Rhapsody" smolders in a trio workout, with Liebman making a delayed entrance well into the arrangement. They use a variation of Dizzy Gillespie's added introduction to "All the Things You Are," yet emphasize the lyricism of the original work rather than rushing through it to simply show off their chops. Abercrombie, Anderson, then Liebman take turns in the solo spotlight in the thoughtful exploration of "Lover Man," accompanied by Nussbaum's whispering brushes. Liebman switches to wooden flute in the haunting, exotic setting of "Besame Mucho," giving it a bit of an Oriental flavor. This is a brilliant effort that merits a follow-up record date. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide |
