▓████▓▌ James Finn not only plays brilliantly, but he also ▓▌
▓████▓▌ produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered this CD ▓▌
▓████▓▌ single-handedly. The album features bassist Dominic ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Duval, Downbeat Magazine 2003 Award recipient of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 'Talent Deserving Wide Recognition' along with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ legendary percussionist Warren Smith. In the liner ▓▌
▓████▓▌ notes, Frank Rubolino writes,"James crafts a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ masterful conceptual portrait overflowing with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ potency and warmth. The music of three exceptional ▓▌
▓████▓▌ musicians merges into one harmonious outpouring of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ stimulating beauty." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Steve Smith of Time Out Magazine NY writes, "One of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ music's signal pleasures is the arrival of a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ performer whose sound and conception are so mature ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and fully formed, you can't help but ponder under ▓▌
▓████▓▌ what barrel they've previously been hidden. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ecstatic-jazz newcomer James Finn makes precisely ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that impression." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Matthew Sumera, of One Final Note wrote, "It'd be ▓▌
▓████▓▌ safe to say that the story of 2004 in creative ▓▌
▓████▓▌ improvised music is James Finn's arrival as a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ leader." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ For this venture, James chose to capture in music ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the essence of the bullfight in all its radiant ▓▌
▓████▓▌ glory. The bullfight is the life and breath of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Spain. It has a tradition dating back several ▓▌
▓████▓▌ thousand years when Greek and Roman influences ▓▌
▓████▓▌ transformed religious sacrifice into a spectacular ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for the people. It is passionately endorsed by that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ country's populace. The sport is majestic, regal, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and a skilled work of choreographed artistry. In ▓▌
▓████▓▌ keeping with those qualities, James has generated a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ stunning work of musical art depicting the power, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ emotions, and elation emerging from the contest. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ If you listen closely, you can almost hear the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ inner struggle between the characters. In this ▓▌
▓████▓▌ story, the matador comes to realize that this ▓▌
▓████▓▌ bullfight was more than just 'man conquering ▓▌
▓████▓▌ beast'. As they each try to anticipate and outwit ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the other, it is revealed to the matador that their ▓▌
▓████▓▌ consciousness' are entwined. In the finale, the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ matador is hailed as the hero: he realizes, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ however, that it is the relentless and crafty Toro ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Bravo facing death so courageously who is the true ▓▌
▓████▓▌ hero. James said,"I first conceived of this theme ▓▌
▓████▓▌ while living in Spanish Harlem just prior to this ▓▌
▓████▓▌ recording. The making of this album came together ▓▌
▓████▓▌ like a seamless dream. In that moment, we lived ▓▌
▓████▓▌ it...the first time that we played together as a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ trio. The sparks were flying. You could almost ▓▌
▓████▓▌ smell the dirt...every track made in one take. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "In Plaza de Toros various architectures can be ▓▌
▓████▓▌ found throughout. A favorite occurs in the opening ▓▌
▓████▓▌ theme of the title song. Years ago, while living in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the mountains near Woodstock, NY, we were visited ▓▌
▓████▓▌ by the seventeen-year cicada. Well, if you've ever ▓▌
▓████▓▌ heard them, you will concur that they make a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ torrent of sound. I took my saxophone out into the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ middle of a meadow and joined in uninvited into ▓▌
▓████▓▌ their alien symphony. I found to my amazement that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ they, millions - possibly billions of them, were ▓▌
▓████▓▌ singing in waves on a scale pitched in D-flat that ▓▌
▓████▓▌ was a complete mirror of itself. Bela Bartok called ▓▌
▓████▓▌ this the golden scale. It has also been referred to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ by some musicologists as the Hungarian major scale. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ I used this scale with some variations in the theme ▓▌
▓████▓▌ on the title song. I also used this scale in the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ theme of Opening the Gates - my first album. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Another favorite architecture in Plaza de Toros ▓▌
▓████▓▌ occurs in the opening statement of El Tercio de ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Vanderillas. I stated a four-note motif and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ followed with its mirror reflection to announce the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ensuing stage - symbolically representing on a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ variety of levels: the pairs of darts or ▓▌
▓████▓▌ banderillas wielded by the matador: the pronate ▓▌
▓████▓▌ horns of the bull; the mirror of the circular ▓▌
▓████▓▌ movement and strategies of the opponents." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ James Finn's story is one, like so many, who has ▓▌
▓████▓▌ struggled for many years in order to finally ▓▌
▓████▓▌ receive some recognition and success. Back in 1991, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Jimmy Heath, impressed with James' talent, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ described him as "someone who had fallen through ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the cracks." Yes, finally, James is beginning to be ▓▌
▓████▓▌ heard. He says, "God willing, NOW IS MY TIME." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ James Finn on tenor saxophone, Dominic Duval on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ double bass and Warren Smith on drums. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ All Compositions by James Finn. Recorded, mixed and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ mastered at Ginkotree Studio, New York, NY, on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ December 5 & 19. Produced by James Finn. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
