Scott Dubois: Banshees

By

View read count
Questo album del chitarrista americano Scott Dubois segna un deciso incontro tra il free ed il bop. L'impostazione dei brani, le esposizioni dei temi con sax e chitarra che si muovono all'unisono, è infatti di natura tradizionale. A confondere le acque ci sono gli accenti spostati, la melodia un po' stiracchiata, ma insomma, la concezione è schiettamente bop. A volte persino risaputa.

Poi ci sono gli interventi solistici, che si muovono invece su territori più liberi, a tratti decisamente free, e con un linguaggio di stretta contemporaneità. Il risultato di questa giustapposizione è curioso, a tratti spiazzante.

Una sorta di altalena tra passato e presente, affrontati con piglio deciso ed un sound di rara compattezza.

Completano il quadro una traccia più meditativa (Canaria), ed un finale maestoso, quasi solenne.
