Accordion virtuoso Will Holshouser fashions an offbeat, richly
textured trio concept on Reed Song, teaming with trumpeter Ron
Horton and double bassist David Phillips (drummer Kevin Norton
guests on two tracks). There's a wonderfully romantic quality
to these ten original pieces. Holshouser blends jazz with
various roots influences and takes composition very seriously ù
these are tightly woven tapestries, not bare-bones sketches or
paroxysms of free improv. But spontaneity, too, has a place at
the table, and each player has the chops necessary to make
sparks fly. The moods are strikingly diverse as well, from the
darkly hued "Tang" and "Unfried" to the comic, lighthearted
"Sparkle of Never," to name only a few highlights. Like his
colleague Matt Munisteri, Holshouser knows how to eschew
categories, refurbish old-world sounds, and grab the ear with
airy, attractive melodies.
