Black Art Jazz Collective: Black Art Jazz Collective - Presented By The Side Door Jazz Club
Sul piano dell'architettura musicale si avverte l'affettuoso rimando alla più recente produzione discografica di Tom Harrell, nel cui quintetto Wayne Escoffery è una colonna portante. Ma soprattutto nell'unico brano live, la rilevanza compositiva e performativa è tale da rendere ammaliante l'ascolto di un disco impregnato di aureo classicismo.
Superbamente eseguite, le composizioni originali brillano anche per la presenza di intense ballad, venate di struggente nostalgia. Risulta assai convincente l'approccio contemporaneo allo swing, grazie alla capacità del sestetto di rivitalizzare la tradizione con gusto e intima adesione al modello.
