Thomas, Storrs & Sarpolas: Time Share
ByRob Thomas' violin and Dick Sarpola's acoustic bass mesh together, delivering lyrical qualities as if from a lullaby. They share their adventures with drums and percussion, however, so that the session takes on twists and turns to vary the pace. There's a change in current lurking behind every musical phrase. With Time Share, the ensemble stretches out in many directions. Added percussion makes this one change color often, and each artist explores freely. It's a cohesive affair among friends where subtle changes in mood come automatically.
Throughout the session, Thomas scores with his violin, heaping layers upon layers of melody. Dave Storrs surrounds with an exciting circle of rhythms that propel and unite. His choice of textures and his ever-changing rhythmic attire bring variety and excitement. The ensemble's father-and-son rhythmic team (Dick Sarpola, bass and George Sarpola, percussion) brings added swirls of excitement throughout. Recommended, Time Share unites four improvising artists in a session that smokes with lyrical fire from beginning to end.
