Roberto Magris Trio: One Night In With Hope And More…vol. 2
Magris closes out his long night of recording hard bop in the vein of Hope with a collection containing compositions by Herbie Nichols, Randy Weston, as well as several original pieces in the chosen vernacular. Magris' approach remains straight-ahead, seasoned with his potent and well-trained playing. Nichols "Third World" swings over the complex head the enigmatic pianist used to compose it. Magris solos confidently, incorporating Thelonious Monk, Kenny Drew and Red Garland. The original "Mal Waldron's Dreams" captures Waldron's often dense introspection while Magris' interpretation of Neal Hefti's Theme From "The Odd Couple" is a pleasant breeze through a very familiar melody to 1970s television audiences. "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" is played haltedly, in a combination of Horace Silver and Wynton Kelly. Magris retains his native lyricism throughout and his support from bassist Elisa Pruett and drummers Albert "Tootie" Heath and Brian Steever batton down the hatches, keeping everything on the straight and narrow.
