standards with attitude March 23, 2004
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Do not be put off by the play list that looks nothing but a mix of standards - including Gershwin, Rogers and Hammerstein, Jerome Kern and titles such as 'Nice Work if You Can Get It', 'All the Things You Are' and 'I Got Rhythm' - but the playing is anything but. As leader, Paul Motian keeps a well balanced and tight ensemble and never succumbs to the temptation to dominate from behind his drum kit. Bill Frissel on electric guitar provides a stream of everchanging modes from funky, straight rock to elegaic ballad all played with a crystaline simplicity. While Joe Lovano brings a swinging easy style to 'I Got Rhythm'. It would be easy to resort to ironic playfullness when encountering such hoary pieces; instead all the players recognise just how good the music is and bring a freshness that underlines and confirms the quality. Charlie Haden provides a firm foundation throughout and a light fingered bouncy introduction to 'Nice Work.'. The recording is very forward and finely balances each instrument with wonderful clarity - nothing is lost.
