Frank Carlberg Large Ensemble: Elegy for Thelonious
Il risultato è eccellente, molto meditato e quindi ordinato, ma senza che ciò determini mai scivolate sulla buccia di banana del calligrafismo. La scrittura è costantemente ispirata e molto densa, concreta, raggiungendo nel suo abbinamento/intreccio col lavoro dei solisti (e il fil rouge delle due voci, assolutamente prezioso e del tutto congruo al clima e al contesto) una solidità strutturale e poetica assolutamente esemplare.
Ne consegue che d'ora in poi, nell'elencare le pagine del jazz contemporaneo ispirate in linea più o meno diretta all'arte monkiana, non si potrà prescindere da quest'opera. Per paradosso (in realtà per autonomia di percorso, comunque palpabilissima) anche indipendentemente da Monk.
Album della settimana.
