Charlie Haden: The Private Collection
Una macchina di suono perfettamente oleata, in cui niente è fuori posto per via di dinamiche e processi d’insieme ottimizzati nel corso di un ventennio di carriera concertistica e discografica. Troviamo, insomma, un piacevole percorso post-boppistico, proposto con indubbia classe e maestria ma senza il fuoco sacro che contraddistingue il versante più avanguardistico ed interessante della musa hadeniana.
È un melange ben costruito, con composizioni di Charlie Parker, Ornette Coleman, Miles Davis e via dicendo. A questo si aggiunga un parter de roi d’eccezione, grazie alla presenza di due batteristi straordinari come lo scomparso Billy Higgins e Paul Motian. Eppure a dispetto del contesto live e della presenza di un pubblico empatico e partecipativo, non è si accesa la scintilla di una vis creativa che solo l’attimo fuggente di un’esibizione jazzistica può regalare.
