Drew Gress: 7 Black Butterflies
by AAJ Italy Staff
Lo swing ed il senso orchestrale della musica sono gli aspetti che sembrano emergere con maggior evidenza dall’ascolto di questo CD. Una qualche riedizione dei fasti del jazz classico, con un quintetto che ripropone canonicamente i tradizionali concetti di melodia, armonia e ritmo, la sacra triade del jazz puro e duro? Niente affatto, se l’ensemble in ...

Capable of bringing an unerring sense of tradition to ...

The improvising is of a consistently high order throughout. And Gress contributes his inventive compositions, with structures that challenge the improvisers with knotty harmonies and tempo changes. On 7 Black Butterflies, the whole ...
