Devere Pride Trio: ...As In A Morning Sunrise
The trio gives Herbie Hancock's "Dolphin Dance an effectively loping treatment, featuring a slurring bowed bass solo from Pride, along with some light and sparkling work from Jung. "Softly As In A Morning Sunrise is, like "My Funny Valentine, a standard that unfailingly coaxes strong performances. The trio presents a jaunty take that features bouncy statements from each performer. Two selections are curiously listed as bonus tracks: "Someday My Prince Will Come, which is sensitively presented as a bass/piano duet; and "Alone Together, which is stretched out, allowing for some contributions from tenor saxophonist Sam Williams.
...As In A Morning Sunrise does not indulge in complex musical theory or controversy. This highly enjoyable, immediately accessible album wears its pleasures on its sleeve.
