Howard Britz: Here I Stand
Si va così dal gustoso calipso di “Yaakology“, alla struggente “Goodbye, for Dad“, dal funky ammorbidito di “Lucky Friday the 13th“ al modale “Scatterburg“ passando per il 7/4 di “Martha’s Song“, dedicato alla moglie. La costruzione dei brani è piuttosto canonica nell’alternarsi di sezioni d’insieme e parti solistiche, ma i musicisti sono maggiormente interessati a creare opportuni amalgama timbrici piuttosto che ad esibire assoli muscolari e pirotecnici.
Howard Britz, nato a Londra ma maturato artisticamente negli States, confeziona con Here I Stand un album godibile, ad alto tasso melodico che piacerà assai agli amanti di un jazz raffinato e rilassante.
