Master bassist/composer John Lindberg has fabricated a
captivating set, inspired by forward thinking classical
composers Charles Ives and Louis Gottschalk. For instance,
Lindberg's piece "Spirit Great, Golden Shine," was composed
after the September 11 tragedy, and is cited as a tribute to
Gottschalk's "Holy Spirit, Light Divine" hymn. Nonetheless,
this quintet pronounces a rather organic vibe, enhanced by the
melding of Asian instruments and a semi-conventional modern
jazz-based setup. Here, Lindberg steers the pulse via his
fervently plucked lines. On "Yatan-Na," multi-reedman Steve
Korn employs a bansuri flute to exude an exotic yet rather
unpredictable musical climate. As trumpeter Bakida Carrol
follows with warm choruses, Lindberg re-engineers the rhythmic
structures to coincide with drummer/percussionist Susie
Ibarra's regimented brushwork. The ensemble quietly and rather
seamlessly shifts gears, to include interesting harmonic
endeavors complete with world music-like grooves. Many of these
works are simply fascinating, yet one quick listen may not
divulge the true benefits. It all flows rather naturally,
whether the band engages in odd-metered rhythmic escapades or
weaving sound sculptures.
