Paul Dunmall Brass Project: Maha Samadhi
La partenza del disco ha in effetti (abbastanza a sorpresa, dobbiamo dire) un impatto squisitamente orchestrale, con una sua fisionomia e una sua forma piuttosto puntuali, precise. Anche il solismo abitualmente straripante di Dunmall rientra assolutamente nei ranghi, dando via via spazio alla tromba di Percy Pursglove ("Ecstatic, Unbearable Love"), quindi a trombone e ancora tromba delle coppie Dave Sear/Aaron Diaz ("Temple Of The Mother's Presence," dominato da una rotonda quanto inusuale pacatezza) e Josh Tagg/Alex Astbury ("In The Cossipore Garden"), rispettivamente, per riprendersi la scena secondo le sue più consolidate abitudini nei due episodi conclusivi. Il che, per inciso, abbassa lievemente il livello della proposta, proprio in questo suo farsi più prevedibile e fin troppo procrastinata ("Maha Samadhi," inteso come singolo brano, dura pur sempre oltre quattordici minuti).
Se volete procurarvi qualcosa di Paul Dunmall, sia quel che sia, questo è l'album che ci sentiremmo di consigliarvi.
