James Brandon Lewis Quartet: Molecular
Una solidità, quindi, che si respira da ogni poro, ma che sa essere per così dire discreta, non prevaricante, come spesso accade in contesti analoghi, quando si finisce per scivolare su un'energeticità, o, per contro, una suadenza, fin troppo smaccate, univoche, derivative.
Non è questo il caso: certo tutta l'eredità del grande ceppo jazzistico è perfettamente avvertibile, ma in particolare la succitata gestione degli spazi, delle dinamiche e della dialettica interna al quartetto, garantiscono alla musica una sua freschezza, una godibilità che non si fa mai stucchevole o supina. "A Lotus Speaks," "Molecular," "Cesaire," "Neosho," "Breaking Code" e "An Anguish Departed" ci appaiono in questo senso gli episodi più significativi.
