Dave Douglas recensisce il nuovo album di Wayne Shorter, Without a Net, e lo fa con competenza (ovvio) e scioltezza. Daltronde il trombettista è anche un blogger ed è abituato a cimentarsi con le parole oltre che con le note.Trascrivo l'incipt e rimando come di consueto la lettura integrale al link: I was listening to Wayne Shorter's new album on the Taconic State Parkway when I heard a woman's voice yelling, "Oh my God!" It was intense, one of those things where you think maybe you should pull over and find out what's going on. When I got home, I realized it was actually on the recording. It was one of the players in the woodwind quintet Imani Winds, who join the Wayne Shorter Quartet on "Pegasus." (This happens at 7:16.)It was the perfect reaction to the immediacy and urgency of this music. Shorter's quartet plays with incantatory fervor and heavenly grace. Every moment is alive with possibility and charged with electric energy. It's music where you feel like anything can happen, and once you start to grasp the rules of the game you pick up on the profundity of the choice of what actually does happen. Without a Net presents a side of Shorter we haven't heard before on record--there's a new freedom and flight of imagination, as well as a crucial re-imagining of the meeting of composed and improvised music.Continua qui:
