Lotte Anker - Craig Taborn - Gerald Cleaver: Triptych
Una musica che si distende in ampi archi d’attesa, dapprima aleatoria, indeterminata, infine piena, avvolgente.
L’abilità di costruzione si deve al triangolo nell’insieme. Lotte Anker getta semi fruttuosi; Taborn e Cleaver li fanno germogliare d’incanto. La pratica è radicale, improvvisazione totale su spunti melodico-ritmici.
Eppure il bagaglio espressivo dei tre è tale che le trame sonore si moltiplicano, offrendo soluzioni plurime.
L’iniziale “Triptych” è impressionante per forza centrifuga; “Cumulus” torna al Coltrane dopo la scoperta del soprano, “The Hierophant” seduce con blocchi ritmici di piano e batteria trapassati da un arrembante sax tenore.
Lievità, energia, dolcezza, potenza. Taborn e Cleaver maiuscoli.
