This is drummer Scott Amendola's second recording as a leader, although his first, recorded in late 1999, was an independent release and not widely distributed. Amendola's debut on the West Coast Cryptogramophone label (with better distribution, hopefully) has him retaining four-fifths of his quintet, with label regular Nels Cline newly added on guitars. Jenny Scheinman continues on violin, Todd Sickafoose remains on acoustic bass, and Eric Crystal is once again on saxophones. Amendola wrote or arranged all the compositions on this CD, and he definitely has an interactive group sound in mind. Solo space is quite generous (the eight tracks are seven to eight minutes long on the average) but the blend of violin, sax, and guitar also makes for a great ensemble sound, and the musicians frequently comp behind each other, providing additional texture and ear-pleasing counterpoint.

jazz musicians of Amendola's age, disposition, and talent are anything but rigid when it comes to interests and influences, and Cry is not only tight and passionate, but also highly eclectic. As a drummer, Amendola never seems to be striving for any specific effect, but he has a great sense of dynamics, and is always deep in the groove. He's a percussionist who seemingly can't help being funky (quietly or exuberantly) no matter what he's playing. His bandmates are equally versatile. Scheinman has classical training, has played with hybrid avant-rock groups such as Charming Hostess, and is a student of Eastern European/jewish folk music. Guitarist Cline has acquired a substantial reputation, both as leader and bandmember, for effortlessly navigating a stylistic range that runs from nuanced acoustic picking through thrash, grunge, and free playing, and into Hendrix-style blues. The reputations of saxophonist Eric Crystal and bassist Todd Sickafoose are perhaps more closely bound to the San Francisco Bay area, but they too are experienced musicians who have played in a variety of musical contexts -- folk, blues, pop, alt-rock, and jazz. Crystal's playing on this CD is particularly fluid and confident. He has some great exchanges with Cline, and the two of them sound like they are having enormous fun testing each other's mettle.

The imaginative program on this CD begins with a traditional Christian hymn, "His Eye is On the Sparrow," featuring Scheinman's ravishingly ethereal violin, and then jumps into the jaunty worldbeat fusion of "Bantu," followed by an affecting but propulsive "A Cry for John Brown," where Crystal, Cline, and then Scheinman, queue up one after another to dazzle with their invention, passion, and technical skill. Cline's solo, especially, is a model of controlled chaos, building to an apex of totally fuzzed-out distortion before slipping deftly back into the theme. Every track has new treasures to offer, from the angular post-bop of "Streetbeat," the combination of dissonant, unsettling free improv, and introspective lyricism on "Whisper, Scream," the modal mysticism of "My Son, the Wanderer," the chilling, funereal vision of Bob Dylan's "Masters of War" (with guest vocalist Carla Bozulich), and the spare, understated beauty of the closing "Rosa," which features Cline's pensive and delicate acoustic guitar work. Indeed, this one has it all. ~ Bill Tilland, All Music Guide



Scott Amendola

Active Decades: '90s and '00s
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Funk, Modern Creative, Worldbeat, Fusion, Avant-Garde Jazz

Scott Amendola landed in San Francisco in 1992 after graduating from Berklee College of Music. He met guitarist Charlie Hunter soon after arriving in San Francisco. The two joined forces along with Will Bernard and John Schott to form the innovative band TJ Kirk (Warner Bros.). TJ Kirk went on to be nominated for a Grammy in 1995. A year and a half later, Scott joined the Charlie Hunter Quartet. The band toured worldwide and recorded three records for Blue Note. "Amendola has complete mastery of every piece of his drumset and the ability to create a plethora of sounds using sticks, brushes, mallets, and even his hands," explains Steven Raphael of Modern Drummer magazine. "There is a phenomenal interaction of five distinct musical voices. Amendola and his hand-picked crew take improvisation to new heights." For Amendola "it’s all about improvisation and opening up the music so that anything can happen."
