Danel Bingert: Berit In Space
ByNot only are the vinyl sounds a renaissance of the 1950s and '60s, so too is the music. "Cinco De Mayo" could easily have been a missing track from Miles Davis' Ascenseur Pour L'Échafaud (Fontana, 1958), with its luscious arrangements around the muted trumpet of Karl Olandersson. Bingert draws not only from the hipness of Davis, but also from his association with Gil Evans on tracks like "Sven-Eric Snyltaren," "Henry And Bernard" and "Berit In Space."
The latter piece is an excellent example how Bingert has arranged the music to be sinuous without sounding constrained. The flow draws on the organic talents of Olandersson, saxophonists Jonas Kullhammar and Per Texas Johansson, pianist Charlie Malmberg, bassist Torbjorn Zetterberg and drummer Moussa Fadera. Is it easy to imagine Bingert as a modern Billy Strayhorn arranging "Kaya Boca" for a small group Duke Ellington recording. The recording's warmth is evident throughout, and obviously accentuated by the vinyl sounds.
