DUDUKA DA FONSECA TRIO - JIVE SAMBA
Lively trio
work from drummer Duduka Da Fonseca – a set that has all the Brazilian touches
you might expect from the title, but which also sparkles with lots of
straighter jazz moments too! Duduka's as strong as ever on the kit, and the
album really draws a lot of warmth from the piano lines of David Feldman – who
blocks out the ballads with this gentle groove that's especially nice, then
really catches fire on some of the more upbeat numbers – which also have
Fonseca reminding us of his deftness on the drums. Guto Wirtti plays bass in
the trio, and one track includes tenor from Paulo Levi – on titles that include
"Jive Samba", "Lucky Southern", "Pensativa",
"Clouds", "Peresina", "Recorda Me", and
"Sco's Bossa". ~ Dusty Groove
JAKOB BRO - GEFFION
Gefion is
Danish guitarist Jakob Bro's first ECM album as leader, following recordings
for the label as sideman with Paul Motian and Tomasz Stanko. Like the work of
those masters Bro s balladeering distils a sense of jazz history in its
specific and highly personal atmospheres. The open forms of Bro s compositions
leave plenty of space for his companions drum legend Jon Christensen and
creative bassist-of-the-moment Thomas Morgan - to make their statements,
interactively and in parallel. And there is space too for the listener s
imagination to follow the flow and the delicate melodic tracery of Bro s
electric guitar in this thoughtful and poetic album. Gefion was recorded in
Oslo s Rainbow Studio in November 2013 and produced by Manfred Eicher. ~ Amazon
