Jay Clayton, Fritz Pauer, Ed Neumeister: 3 for the Road
Di Jay Clayton abbiamo avuto modo di considerare il suo recente disco in duo con Jerry Granelli (Alone Together) apprezzando la cifra espressiva sempre avventurosa. In questa session la Clayton ha 60 anni e le sue esplorazioni vocali interagiscono in modo paritetico coi due colleghi, inventando intriganti percorsi improvvisati. Ma in un paio di occasioni l'amore per la tradizione prende il sopravvento e il trio regala preziose versioni di "Two for the Road" e "It Could Happen To You."
Nel primo brano la cantante esalta la grazia melodica e la luminosità quasi infantile del suo timbro in una interpretazione esemplare per gusto interpretativo e leggerezza. Maggior dinamismo e brio caratterizza il secondo brano che presenta ottimi interventi improvvisati di Neumeister, Pauer e della stessa Clayton in scat.
Gli amanti della libera improvvisazione apprezzeranno anche il resto del disco che ha il pregio della varietà espressiva, in una esplorazione talvolta lirica e volatile ("Gobblers Nob") e talvolta ritmicamente concitata ("Love Is a Place," "Badadadat").
