Jimmy
Weinstein:
Sound Emotion |
Jimmy Weinstein’s GM debut covers an
impressively wide range of emotion, and the sometimes forceful
sometimes gentle approach creates a remarkably fluid and dynamic
program that is more than simply sound.
The lilting “Under The Bridge,”
reminiscent of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Goin’ On,” “Fast
Blues,” a 6 bar blues evolving into an intense exploration to
the outer limits of jazz, the beautiful ballad “Her Melancholy
Piano,” utilizing the unexpected texture of Elie Massias’
acoustic guitar, or “Fighting,” with a flat-out rock
attitude over a gritty blues shuffle are but a few examples of
Weinstein’s fresh compositional diversity. The tranquil yet
mysterious treatment of Ornette Coleman’s “Comme il Faut”
and the thoughtful use of improvised melodic counterpoint
between the guitar and tenor in the standard “I’ll Remember
April,” pay fine tribute to such different regions of the jazz
spectrum. |
