Christopher Hollyday: Dialogue
Tutto fino all'anno scorso quando ha pubblicato questo disco in quintetto con gli abituali partner di San Diego, la città dove insegna.
Alla soglia dei cinquant'anni Hollyday non ha perso nulla dell'impeto e dell'eloquenza che ricordavamo, confermando una tecnica di prim'ordine arricchita da essenzialità e ispirazione. Conferma in pieno la sua trascinante impronta boppistica, in assoli vorticosi e timbricamente incisivi. Il repertorio alterna sue composizioni, temi brasiliani ("Pau de Arara"), due seducenti ballad ("Dedicated to You," "You Make Me Feel So Young") e qualche classico di Horace Silver e Mal Waldron. Per gli amanti del cosiddetto straight-ahead jazz è una fonte di piacere. C'è freschezza e sincera passione anche per il contributo degli ottimi partner: il trombettista Gilbert Castellanos e tutta la sezione ritmica.
