Billy Hart drums
The Call features the same lineup as Notes From Big Sur
(pianist Bobo Stenson and bassist Anders Jormin), save for
drummer Billy Hart, who replaces Ralph Peterson. (Lloyd has
referred to this group as his "Full Service Orchestra of
Love.") While the record documents plenty of stirring
musicianship, Lloyd the composer seems to be running low on
fresh ideas and distinctive melodies. In sum, The Call is a bit
too similar in thrust to his two previous ECM outings. (It's
also over 16 minutes longer, which doesn't help.) There are a
couple of unexpected twists, however ù like Lloyd's surging,
surprising entrance toward the end of "Song," and the quick yet
perpetually unsettled tempo of the brief "Imke." The closing
Lloyd/Hart duet, "Brother on the Rooftop," is partially based
on the second movement of Beethoven's PathΘtique Sonata,
although there's no acknowledgement of this anywhere on the CD
package.
