Review: Accompanied by a 10-piece string section, tenor saxophonist David
Murray delivers a big, ambitious CD that showcases his wide-ranging moods and styles.
Recorded in December 2002, Waltz Again has only recently made it on to the shelves.
It is MurrayÆs ninth album as a leader for the Justin Time label.
The CD begins with the 26-minute long ôPushkin Suite #1,ö a complex and challenging
seven-part movement that opens with a stormy swirl of sound that serves as a prelude
to the action ahead. In all, 14 players are featured on the CD. In addition to Murray
and the string section (five violins, two violas, two cellos and a double bass), there
is piano, bass and drums. This lineup allows the prolific-yet-unheralded Murray to work
in an orchestral as well as more traditional jazz combo setting. On Waltz Again ,
he freely experiments, pushing the music to dark, jagged edges on one song and then
striking serene, lush melodies on another.
Murray, who composed all the selections, doesnÆt use the strings as simple background,
but instead incorporates them into the entire project. They are as vital to the music
as MurrayÆs own saxophone.
In addition to ôPushkin Suite #1,ö which is the CDÆs centerpiece, the album has four
other songs. The eight-minute long ôWaltz Againö is dedicated to MurrayÆs guitarist
father, Walter, whose love of waltzes inspired this enchanting number.
The percussive ôDark Secretsö is said to have been inspired by an exhibit of Bantou
burial art, and ôSparkleö is a fast-paced song that joyously surges along under
MurrayÆs confident blasts.
Stretching more than 11 minutes is ôSteps,ö one of the high points of the album.
ItÆs a moody ballad that shimmers with strings and features some of MurrayÆs prettiest
playing. But, even here, he takes an unexpected turn or two.

02-waltz again [08:51]
03-dark secrets [10:17]
