As with the case of fellow veteran and former Stenson collaborator Charles Lloyd, 2008 has seen Bobo Stenson release his finest album in at least a decade. "Cantando" has the purity of sound and consistency of 2000's "Serenity" and the diversity of 2005's "Goodbye" but where the latter's mix of originals, classical pieces, the odd standard and Latin numbers was uneven, here it gels wonderfully. Indeed there are few groups who move at all from the elegant tango of Astor Piazolla's "Chiquilin de Bachin" to the extended improvisation of the 13 minute "Pages" to the restless energy of Ornette Coleman's "A Fixed Goal" to the Alban Berg-composed "Liebesode" and none of whom I can think who do such with such verve and ease.
As before, Stenson's piano playing has a crystalline quality, full and inventive without being showy or fussy. Anders Jormin remains the perfect foil deploying his signature use of bowed bass on a number of tracks. Much has been written of young drummer Jon Falt who has performed live in the Stenson trio for a number of years but makes his recording debut follows in the intimidating lineage of Jon Christenson and Paul Motian. Suffice to say that he more than matches his illustrious predecessors.
Despite the sustained excellence, the highlights are the two versions of "Song of Ruth", by Petr Eben who, until his recent death, was the most prominent contemporary Czech composer if not the leading cultural figure in his country. The interpretations of the track originally scored for organ and soprano are full of yearning and atmosphere and provide a perfect snapshot of the interplay between piano, bass and percussion and the fact that the trio never ceases to sing throughout this wonderful release.
