Dudley Owens / Aaron Wright Band: People Calling
By Track review of "Book of Revelations"On Owen's "Book of Revelations," Wright and drummer Clif Wallace slowly introduce a John Coltrane-like motif approximating "A Love Supreme" that soon takes on an "Eye of the Hurricane" complexity. Pianist Willerm Delisfort solos over this with an angular, block-chord grace. The harmonic scaffolding of the piece strongly recalls the early European recordings of Miles' second quintet, as presented on Miles Davis Quintet: Live in Europe 1967: The Bootleg Series Volume 1 (Columbia, 2011). The difference being that everything here is less experimental, more orderly and content. Recordings like this demonstrate that while jazz has moved on in so many other directions, the old ways still warrant consideration and investigation.
