Greg Cordez: Last Things Last
ByOn "Low Winter Sun" there's attractive interplay between Kirk Knuffke on cornet and Blake's tenor and this coalescence continues with the gentle ballad "All That Is" and the labyrinthine head that introduces "Clementine." The set closes with "Junebug" which benefits from some delightful interplay between cornet and guitar.
A truly international bassist, Greg Cordez was born in the UK and raised in New Zealand but has worked in London, Madrid, and New York City (where this album was recorded). He's worked with numerous jazz musicians including Tim Garland, Jason Rebello and Andy Sheppard. His bass guitar work is so good that, like Charles Mingus he plays unobtrusively yet with surgical precision, allowing his fellow musicians to take the limelight. This follow-up to his 2015 album Paper Crane offers the listener an attractive and sensitive session.
