Rufus Reid: Quiet Pride
Sia dal punto di vista compositivo che dell'arrangiamento, emerge un brillante impasto testurale volto a contrapporre i timbri come sezioni orchestrali. La cura pregevole con cui il leader guida i 20 elementi della big band si percepisce anche dall'incastro della voce all'interno delle sezioni dei fiati come linea aggiuntiva e non come mero contraltare in alternanza. Ma forse l'elemento di maggiore originalità del progetto risiede in una peculiare scelta timbrica del sound orchestrale, volta a far risuonare due corni corni inglesi e voce.
Grazie anche ai brillanti interventi solistici, le strategie d'arrangiamento messe in campo tendono ad eludere cliché e ripetività. Va evidenziato nei quattro movimenti della suite un consapevole interesse per inedite relazioni ritmiche e timbriche, che fanno di Quiet Pride uno dei CD jazz di maggior interesse dell'anno in corso.
