Michael Wolff Trio: jazz, Jazz, jazz
ByThe selections, all familiar gems by the likes of Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock, are performed in a straight-ahead fashion, spontaneous and uncontrived. With the rock-solid support of Williams and Jones, Wolff throws caution to the wind and explores the outer fringes of harmony and tempo. The New Orleans native incorporates a dazzling display of unbridled momentum with unpredictable bursts of melodic design. Highlights include an impressionistic portrait of Dizzy Gillespie's "Con Alma, a lyrically-focused rendition of "Cry Me a River and a rollicking version of "Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise.
The camaraderie between Wolff, Williams and Jones is evident throughout the entire disc. The trio's relaxed approach and intuitive interplay makes for an energetic and fun sessionendearing and worthy of repeated listening.
