Chicago, long a center of cutting-edge music, yields
another
outstanding and genre-breaking ensemble. Composer, pianist
and
professor David Flippo and his colleagues prove that
careful,
creative strategizing opens new avenues of musical
expression.
Conventional interpretations of such standards as "Well
You
Needn't" and "Do Nothin' Til You Hear From Me" are
steadfastly
avoided in favor of an aesthetic based on groove and
prevailing
tonal centers. The resulting spectrum of orchestral color
bears
witness to a powerful harmonic imagination, alive to
chromatic
implications and unfettered by chord structures based on
intervals of thirds. A case in point is the brilliant
original,
"Walking Sideways", whose powerful, rhythmic center forms
the
basis of a highly chromatic yet singable melody.
Cross-cultural
influences manifest in the whimsically titled "Buddha's
Siesta", based on evocative Japanese scale, and in
"Arabopic",
with its ultra-challenging interval sequence. Twelve
tracks in
contrasting style provide an excellent introduction to Dr.
Flippo's work. This is an impressive, impeccably designed
session.
