The October Trio + Brad Turner: Looks Like It’s Going to Snow
A cominciare dai brevi segmenti free-form in scaletta, al gusto vagamente poppettaro dell'ottima "Springs," e anche dalla snellezza di brani come "Found". Momenti ai quali si congiungono alcune atmosfere più buie, introverse, come quelle descritte nelle title-track, e le diramazioni della "Progress Suite," autentico momento clou dell'intero lavoro.
I tre giovani canadesi non sono soli, e si sente. Brad Turner, il trombettista che nel 2006 produsse il loro Day In, li accompagna in maniera costante, con una presenza di spessore. I suoi interventi sono il valore aggiunto dell'intero lavoro (ascoltate, ad esempio, il lirismo di "Give"), dal momento che il solo tenorista Evan Arntzen, pur meritevole, non sarebbe riuscito a imprimere un così alto grado di espressività.
Looks Like It's Going to Snow è un disco godibile, che sa stimolare la curiosità dell'ascoltatore grazie a idee originali e freschissime: d'altra parte l'autunno, in Canada, è davvero freddo.
