Inspired by the paintings of his late father-in-law, the prominent abstract-impressionist artist Dale Chisman, drummer Matt Jorgensen has created a recording of all original works drawing influence directly from Chisman paintings, his home city of Denver, his life-long friends, and his constant reinvention as an artist. To properly reflect the power and expanse of Chisman's pieces, Jorgensen, along with his longtime collaborators - trumpeter Thomas Marriott and saxophonist Mark Taylor - expands his own palette from previous recordings, exploring broad new textures and musical landscapes aided by Corey Christiansen's earthy guitar work, bassist Dave Captein, and orchestrations for string quartet.
Drummer Matt Jorgensen pushes a bit out of the relative comfort zone of his longstanding Matt Jorgensen + 451 ensemble, to pay homage to his late father-in-law, abstract expressionist painter Dale Chisman, with Tattooed by Passion. With his + 451 group, Jorgensen crafted a distinctive modern-leaning sound on CDs Hope (Origin Records, 2004) and Another Morning (Origin Records, 2008). He carries that tradition forward on Tattooed by Passion.
Tight grooves are a part of Jorgensen's approach, which isn't surprising for a drummer. But more importantly, for the group sound he creates, are his choices in the guys sitting in the chording instrument chairs; players who can roll into that disciplined groove if need be, or break out on a tangent to play with astounding abandon: keyboardist Ryan Burns on the + 451 sets, and guitarist Corey Christiansen on the disc in hand.
Opening with the groove-centric "Space, Plane and Line," the group slips into some clean two-horn harmony, featuring + 451 alum, saxophonist Mark Taylor, and Jorgensen's oft-times collaborator, trumpeter Thomas Marriott, in front of Christiansen's crisp chording and the leader's initially metronomic beat. Each horn solos, then Christiansen takes a turn with burning restraint - small, hot blue flames bursting into a crescendo blaze.
The title tune continues in the same mode. The group dynamic is the same—Marriott's warm trumpet tone giving way to Taylor's biting saxophone tang, then Christiansen's burning incandescence driven forward by Dave Captein's beefy bass and Jorgensen's tight-yet-quirky percussion.
"Colorado" has a relaxed, wide-open-spaces atmosphere and a country twang reminiscent of the mood on Marriott's strange but outstanding Crazy: the Music of Willie Nelson (Origin Records, 2008). Jorgensen experiments with much success here and on two more tunes, enlisting a string quartet to add a richness and subtle shine to the quintet's sound.
The the more intense "Big Chief With a Golden Crown" charges down an arrow-straight highway at ninety miles-an-hour on a solid bass/drums drive train, leading to a brief dreamy interlude that wails with a hard rock energy into "Primal Scrip," giving Christiansen a chance to rip with soaring freedom in front of a pounding, sludgy rhythm.
On the closer, "Savage Grace," the strings return, along with clarinetist Richard Cole. The extra instrumentation adds a panoramic feeling to an initially pensive tune that bursts outward with Marriott's brassy solo. An ambitious and beautiful ending to Matt Jorgensen's finest recording to date.

Drummer Matt Jorgensen first appeared on the scene with The Road Begins Here, a moody and introspective work that showed him tackle his own atmospheric arrangements as well as covers ranging as far out of the jazz field as Led Zeppelin. Released in 2001, the album marked his introduction to the jazz world. Teaming with backing group 451, Jorgensen came back the following year with the equally adventurous Quiet Silence. Covering groups like Radiohead and the Beatles, it was another success for the Northwest jazz fixture.
