Sam Decker: Shrove
Con questo quintetto Decker firma la sua prima incursione discografica entro "il nebuloso mondo del jazz moderno"come lui stesso lo definisceed evidenzia la prima eccentricità nella stretta relazione tra il suo tenore e il notevole clarinetto di Michael Sachs. I due si alternano in front line e spesso sviluppano lente parti in unisono sul propulsivo tappeto della sezione ritmica (gli ottimi Dov Manski al pianoforte e tastiere, Aryeh Kobrinsky al contrabbasso e Nathan Ellman-Bell alla batteria). Le composizioni sono ricercate e le esecuzioni particolarmente curate, in equilibrio tra inventiva personale e alto senso della forma: episodi concitati, dalla viva tensione ritmica ("Filles"), convivono con linee melodiche iterate ("Parallel Floats"), rarefazioni cameristiche ("Iron Swallow"), brani echeggianti Stravinsky ("ST") e altro ancora. Un lavoro fantasioso e degno di nota.
