I take the disc to hand ... a lot of four saxophones and percussion instruments. Visitors from Africa. Will be buzz, a lot of energy and inspiration of African, particularly interesting and unusual rhythms. I put the disc into the player. Is it really the same plate? I check, so this is the same, and unfortunately quite different. The first track - Asala - pretty neat melody presented by the saxophone. Unfortunately, I do not know who that is, I think that the leader of the saxophone, but as we later see, after hearing the whole CD, saxophonist sometimes difficult to distinguish. It's not very good. This The first track is actually not necessarily the vehicle for improvisation, saxophone, rather graceful melody played by playing the marimba and kalimbie Dominik Bukowski. It's also completely nieafrykański climate. Rather, it reminds me just a bit better and more ambitious version of the music puszczanej ad nauseam on the evening events, all-inclusive hotel somewhere in the Dominican Republic or Cuba. Well, maybe a little more - for example, offers affordable okołojazzowe Monty Alexander with Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare.
longer compositions are not so neat. Sometimes there are also a bit more aggressive saxophone phrases moving harmonic structures located at least in concept somewhere between the early and the young John Coltrane and Kenny Garrett. A little fun at the sound of saxophones, but all is bedeviled by a fragile implementation of sound, which strikes a complete lack of micro-dynamics. It sounds as though the disc was prepared for those who have and so the depth of the invoice will not hear the sound. But then I might have been enough mp3 files available somewhere on the network?
hard musicians refuse skills workshop. However, the total lack of ideas. Not everyone must obviously have a unique idea for a sound and compositions. The trouble is that here the idea is not. There are many plates, which can not easily attach any labels. When searching for creative means, it could be a compliment. On A Freak-aN Project is, unfortunately, just lack of ideas on what to be this album.
music actually is not bad, but it is not an especially good. It has no emotion. It is such a record, which actually do not remember anything just a few minutes after I leave my CD player drawer. I mean, that would not cause me any emotion, nor positive, but also fair to say that would not cause a negative, for example, wish to throw it out the window. Ot this illustrative music slightly tinged jazz moods, a native of Central America more (due to the dominance of sounds of marimba and kalimba) than from Africa. African exoticism, it's not the sounds of shells and other hard to hear percussion. It should be appropriate compositions and above all, unique rhythms.
couple of saxophone improvisations hard to deny the beauty, but it is too little for a good album. Ran out of idea how good use of pretty neat compositions. Sometimes also interfere with the music completely devoid of justification stop musical action, changes in rhythm and dynamics, and after a few bars to return to the basic theme.
