Brussels Jazz Orchestra: Wild Beauty
Ne discende un percorso per sax dove l'orchestra ha prevalentemente il ruolo di mera cornice, con il freno a mano tirato. I suoi componenti ben si destreggiano nel cogliere il mood dei vari brani, con cui il feeling è risultato però abbastanza deficitario. In virtù di un gioco ritmico brillante e di un accompagnamento puntuale ma mai debordante, i musicisti non sfigurano ma avrebbero meritato soluzioni più accattivanti.
Ispirati ad un vasto ambito di stili, gli arrangiamenti mirano a produrre un robusto swing dove parti scritte e solistiche sono ben equilibrate. Ma regna sulla musica un ordine piuttosto rigido, che lascia libertà solo di reiterazione delle parti ordinate.
