Исполнитель: The Marvin Stamm Quartet Название альбома: Alone Together Год выпуска: 2007 Формат файлов: mp3 vbr-0 Размер архива: 110mb rar Скачать с: rusfolder Marvin Stamm, Bill Mays, Rufus Reid and Ed Soph are a positive and cohesive force. They have been playing together for a long time, their first recording, The Stamm/Stoph Project (Marstam Music), released in 2000. Stamm and Mays have also played and recorded as a duo. Before going into the studio to record this session, the foursome spent a week on a jazz cruise on which they played four concerts. Upon return to port, Stamm thought it an appropriate time for the group to put some music down, and in front of a "live" audience. He was right. The material for the session is choice, and the quartet delves into it with spirited emotion. They create and reinvent with consummate ease, their hearts set firmly in the pulse. "Alone Together, their starting point, finds Mays priming a deep well of ideas—his stops and starts, use of space, and sparkling runs the source of constant delight. Stamm comes in, swinging and buoyant in his statement of the melody, then building intensity around his improvisations. Likewise, the ethereal melody of Lagrima Agradecida," a Latin composition by Mays, floats on the spirited stream of Stamm's trumpet before proving just the right stimulus for the solo constructions of each player. Stamm injects some flinty phrases, holding to a harder line before changing tack with billowing notes. Mays seamlessly grabs the melody, then punctuates and fuels it with intensity, all the while proving no less a melodist than the trumpeter. 'T's Butter, the closer on the program, drives into hard bop. The tempo is flexible, opening space for Stamm and Mays to jump in with an engaging dialogue of tastefully ripe phrases. The pair's melodic inventiveness is complemented by their attention to dynamics—at once colourful and trenchant, for which equal credit is due Soph and Reid, who moreover lay down a rhythm bed with artful conviction. ~ Jerry D'Souza, AAJ
