Roswell Rudd & Yomo Toro
El Espirito Jíbaro - Featuring Bobby Sanabria & Ascensión
CD
(Sunnyside 1174),
Released 2008;
Editor's Pick:
The subtitle here is "featuring Bobby Sanabria and Ascension," and what has been produced is one of the more fertile musical projects I’ve heard in the last year, a meeting between Rudd, one of the great figures of the jazz avant guard on trombone, the master quatro player Yomo Toro and the imposing drummer Bobby Sanabria and his group. The music, well there’s nothing like this around, at times a descarga working out on pieces by Rudd and Toro, at times more composed. There’s a pile of polyphony, with horns climbing all over each other. The band, often but not always Sanabria’s band, works wonders on cumbias and more, and there’s shouting and coros and modern jazz harmonies, dissonance and deep, deep rhythm and a butt-load of joy and pleasure. At times it sounds Mingusian, uproarious, and at times almost like the music of Astor Piazolla. A work of genius, a full throated shout of appreciation and interest and pleasure. Amazing.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous, 2008-04-23)
