Heath Watts - Dan Pell: Breathe If You Can
Aggiungiamo, sempre dalle note di copertina, che le influenze musicali dei due musicisti spaziano da Coltrane a Jimi Hendrix, da Monk ai Cream, da Cecil Taylor ai Soft Machine, da Max Roach ai Beatles, e le premesse diventano davvero allettanti. E invece Breathe if You Can delude profondamente.
Delude perché risulta l’ennesimo dialogo a due senza rete che non aggiunge nulla di nuovo a quanto già visto e ascoltato nel campo libera improvvisazione. I riferimenti stilistici e soprattutto di genere sono difficilmente percepibili, e la ricerca sul suono o sulla successione di tonalità (citata ancora nelle note come obiettivo primario della performance) è lungi dall’avere un significativo carattere di originalità o di innovazione.
