Saxophonist Greg Osby attacks a varied mix of jazz standards on St.
Louis Shoes with results that sound both well within the "tradition"
and utterly modern. Reminiscent of midcareer Wynton Marsalis, Osby
seems to want to mix the Cotton Club-style swing of Duke Ellington with
the angular bebop and calculated arrhythmia of Thelonious Monk. Backed
by a stellar ensemble including trumpeter Nicholas Payton, bassist
Robert Hurst, pianist Harold O'Neil, and drummer Rodney Green, Osby
crafts interesting arrangements of songs including the barely
recognizable Gershwin chestnut "Summertime" and the Dizzy Gillespie
classic "Shaw 'Nuff" that are both harmonically challenging and
rhythmically unique. Check out the quirky and angular Raymond Scott
meets Monk written solo that Osby and Payton play in the middle of
Ellington's "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo." Payton's playing seems more
Marsalis-like than ever, featuring lots of off-kilter diminished lines,
growls, and a general adventurousness that's lacking in too many young
jazz musicians. Osby himself has never sounded more in charge of his
abilities and even though this is by comparison one of his more
conventional outings, he nonetheless achieves a level of creative
individuality few of his contemporaries can match.
