Igor Lumpert & Innertextures: Eleven
L'innesto di un sassofonista talentuoso e assai originale come Greg Ward e la presenza in alcuni brani di due fuoriclasse come il trombettista Jonathan Finlayson e del clarinettista John Ellis risulta decisiva nel far decollare definitivamente le idee musicali di Lumpert. I due sax tracciano linee oblique e angolose su una ritmica spesso nervosa e irregolare con evidenti richiami all'estetica M-Base di Steve Coleman, ma sanno anche essere lirici, sinuosi e attenti alle sfumature. In Eleven troviamo ricchezza di contenuti, scrittura sofisticata, il bop catapultato nelle nevrosi metropolitane, cadenze funky, la gioiosa comunicatività delle fanfare ed un'asciutta essenzialità esecutiva.
Gran bel disco!
