I like very much the new John Surman

I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

Wayne Krantz and Howie 61 (Abstract Logix)- more exploration in jazz pop (following on from Krantz Carlock Lefebvre)- i.e. simple poppy opening verse, allowing Krantz to kick off into improv with the usual melodic guitar playing. A lot more of WK's vocals on several of the tunes, limited octave range used well - moments of Dylan-like sounds and moments of bitter-sweet Chet Baker-like sounds. And note the excellent pun in the album title Howie 61 (after Dylan's Highway 61). Not as immediate as KCL but it is certainly growing.
Morglbl - Brutal Romance (Free Electric Sound/ Lasers Edge). Christophe Godin & Co. almost back on form with the new drummer settling into place on his second Morglbl recording - so this time more heavy fusion and less obvious heavy shred rock. Humour levels are high again, for instance with Godin twisting his solos this way and that dropping in half bars of the unexpected.
And for something completely different: John Surman: Bells of Saltash (ECM). For me the long awaited return to Surman soloing on various woodwind instruments with an (sequenced?) electronic backing, heard originally in the 80's and early 90's . Also a return to a series of connected reflective compositions on landmarks and notable building in his home county of Cornwall.
Very different from what he did with Mike Westbrook or McLaughlin in the 60's or his recent ECM output.

The recording is remarkably high quality, the video quality is very good (although there are a lot of strobe lights), the performance is excellent. I basically grinned like a stupid idiot for the entire duration.
It's also worth noting that it isn't them just playing Blackjazz live, the tour actually had something to do with the development of their sound, so you get some tracks from the previous 2 albums as well. I recommend it if you like the band, for sure. Edited by triceratopsoil - 19 May 2012 at 10:53pm |

How does live Blackjazz compare to the studio version?
