Rick Stone Trio: Fractals
I quattro standard sono posti intelligentemente a intervalli abbastanza regolari per suddividere il disco con i sette originali scritti da Rick Stone. Originali che spesso, a loro volta, citano frammenti di altri standard che ormai sono entrati a far parte del vocabolario quotidiano (vedi per esempio la sezione iniziale di "All the Things You Are" citata nel finale della title-track). Tanto per non farsi mancare nulla. In particolare va segnalata la scelta di proporre una ballad poco frequentata e dal titolo evocativo come "Ballad for Very Sad and Very Tired Lotus Eaters" scritta da Billy Strayhorn.
Il linguaggio di questo trio è quello del jazz moderno mainstream, senza invasioni di campo in area jazz-rock o tantomeno free. Jazz ben eseguito, coerente con le scelte di base, stilisticamente raffinato, con un approccio ritmico variegato quanto basta. Più dalle parti di Jimmy Raney, Joe Pass e Kenny Burrell che non da quelle di Bill Frisell, Pat Metheny e John Scofield, tanto per capirci.
