Drummer Paul Joseph's debut album runs for more than an hour. Normally, credit should be given for that generous amount of playing time. But this album might actually benefit from being shorter. The group seems to run out of ideas on most cuts, yet the play list is a challenging one, with jazz and standard classics dominating. Michael Bartolomei has a deft touch at the piano - minimalist and relaxed. He doesn't clutter the melody line with extraneous chords. Leader Joseph doesn't take advantage of his leadership position to dominate the solos. In fact, he seems to be quite submissive. The concern is that it's difficult to separate one track from another. There's a certain sameness about them, in tempo and overall approach. Of course, the melodies are different. But it takes more than that to keep listener attention through 70 minutes of playing time. Horace Silver's "Nica's Dream" andSonny Rollins' "Pent-up House" should sound significantly different from "I've Got the World on a String," for example. The group gets appropriately sentimental on a tune like "Polka Dots and Moonbeams." But even here they don't attain separation from versions done by other trios thereby failing to stamp their imprimatur on the music. On Nellie Lutcher's "He's a Real Gone Guy," with Bartolomei letting loose, the trio swings this tune along, showing a semblance of enthusiasm. But even here, there's a feeling that they're holding back. The original material is more absorbing than anything else on the program. "Mal's Groove" offers intriguing exchanges between Bartolomei and Brendan Clarke. If you want an album with variety to sink your teeth into, look elsewhere. If, on the other hand, you are satisfied with a session of enjoyable music, you could do much worse than Yes & No.
