From his auspicious beginnings in the late 1970's loft jazz
scene; co-founding the String Trio of New York and on to
leading a number of small ensembles, bassist John Lindberg is
more than just a reliable sideman. A writer of engaging and
enjoyable melodies, it is a shame that wider exposure has
eluded him for so long. This second recording from his quartet
will help make amends.
A continuation of sorts to 2003's Ruminations Upon Ives and
Gottschalk, Lindberg's new quartet album consists of material
honed on the road, then perfected and expanded in the studio.
Lindberg leads a quartet with international flavor. The
leader's bass playing veers from exploratory percussive
manipulations and resonant bowing to in the pocket grooves,
while Susie Ibarra's incomparable percussion excursions embody
tonalities found the world over. Steve Gorn spends equal time
not only on the more traditional soprano saxophone and
clarinet, but bansuri flute as well. Baikida Carroll doubles on
trumpet and flugelhorn for alternately brash and lyrical
playing.
The tunes themselves are marvels of restrained exuberance. The
five thematically connected miniatures that open the album
display the quartet's ability to swing in different time
signatures and genres. Vivid riffing and buoyant rhythm section
work lead into the more meditative title track, a gentle
excursion in mellifluous, relaxed swing. "Resurrection of a
Dormant Soul" begins with adroit call and response between
vigorously plucked bass and manic hand drumming before a bluesy
line emerges with the bass gently walking into a funky vamp for
Carroll's pliant trumpet and Gorn's exotic bansuri flute.
Otherworldly tonalities introduce the ghostly, Asiatic
meditation, "Ether." Lindberg's neo-classical bowing can be
heard to best effect on the "The Siladette Awakening," a
stately chamber-esque opus. Closing out the record on a high
note, "The Chicken Fix" is down home gritty free bop with soul,
replete with Carroll's gutbucket smears and growls.
Lindberg is well respected in the closed but fertile scene he
inhabits, but this album should find him the sort of expanded
audience his talent deserves.
