Bryan Nichols: Looking North
Le progressioni pianistiche di Nichols procedono nel segno di una sostanziale parsimonia di mezzi, un tono quasi dimesso, non esente da chiare reminiscenze classicheggianti ("Very Low Impact," per esempio, sembra estratto da un quaderno di appunti di Satie...). Non per questo mancano gli episodi più vivi, tipo il già citato "Lonesome Tremolo Blues," o anche "Act Natural," di felice plasticità complessiva, ma il risultato finale, pur elegante e calibrato (forse fin troppo), risulta alla fin fine un po' asettico, generico, creativamente esile.
Lo aspettiamo a una prova in grado di dirci qualcosa di più sulla sua personalità più autentica.
