Christian Dillingham: Cascades
Nel brano d'apertura si individuano i principali orizzonti espressivi di un progetto fondato sulla semplicità tematica, sull'esplosione gioiosa e innodica di una musica che rende omaggio all' apprendistato musicale di Dillingham in chiesa.
Si prosegue con la potente costruzione ritmica del linguaggio post- boppistico e contagiosi solchi di swing. Il leader si avvale di una sezione ritmica di primo livello, che in "One Breath" e "South State Line Road" si apre ad un sound più squillante e distorsivo, funzionale alla libera improvvisazione.
Nel complesso, le dieci tracce di Cascades sono immerse nella grande tradizione afroamericana, con escursioni avanguardistiche nell'area ornettiana rivisitata in bell'equilibrio tra mente e cuore.
