Piero Odorici: Cedar Walton Presents
By Track review of "Native Son"The saxophonist's arsenal includes a touch of Coltrane-like sonic spiritualism and a hearty tone embedded with a commanding presence. On "Native Son," the quartet touches upon a Caribbean groove, tempered by Walton's rhythmic block chords, as Odorici's sings the melody through his horn, incorporating a buoyant outlook with subtly soaring lines. Moreover, Walton augments the catchy medium tempo melody with simple harmonic voicings and dances around the primary theme. But it's Odorici's sense of ownership, marked by yearning notes and blustery phrasings, that helps drive this piece into a radiantly upbeat gala, complementing a diverse track mix enamored by the band's unquestionable synergy.
