Исполнитель: Tommy SmithНазвание альбома: Embodying The Light: A Dedication To John Coltrane Год выпуска: 2017 Формат файлов: MP3@320K/s Размер архива: 181 MB Скачать с: depositfiles Scottish saxophonist, bandleader, educator and label proprietor Tommy Smith has been one of contemporary jazz’s expressively independent voices since his teenage-prodigy arrival in the 1980s. John Coltrane was, almost inevitably, an early influence (Jan Garbarek a later one), but the reflective Smith has waited until his 50th birthday to release his own tribute. This beautifully played homage in the style of the master’s 1960s quartet (rising young Glaswegian pianist Pete Johnstone is a big contributor, alongside bassist Calum Gourlay and drummer Sebastiaan de Krom) and the leader’s variety of tone and dynamics in these accounts of such classics as “Dear Lord”, “Resolution” and “Naima” testifies to the authority of his technique and the receptiveness of his ear. Smith’s fast-moving slaloms across the tenor’s register are bewitching on “Transformation”, his sound glides between querulous fragility and assertion on “Naima”; Johnstone dramatically invokes McCoy Tyner on a pulsating “Resolution”; and Smith’s three originals are right in Coltrane’s ballpark. The session is almost overly faithful to its subject’s methods, but Smith’s eloquence on a saxophone is all his own. — Guardian
