Michele Rosewoman: The Inside Out
The horns help provide a good deal of the conversation vital to the best jazz playing. "Link, for example, finds Zenón (on soprano) and Shim blending to state the quirky modern theme then musing behind the soloists. Both take strong leads that display how well they listen to everything implied and stated in the tune. Bass lines link the sections and create a most engaging modern jazz experience. But Rosewoman never seems to rest and so each tune that emerges is part of a larger story that moves forward no matter the number of "intriguing diversions.
Rosewoman is a propulsive bandleader and guides the listeners and the players on a most seductive journeythrough ballads and dances and ending up doing a number on Marvin Gaye's lesser-known "Life is For Learning. It takes about as much time as an old single but the players show a true love for the groove and the music, as Rosewoman has done throughout her career and now on this terrific recording.
