Delbecq shines on Floodstage, playing prepared piano and analog synth and manipulating live-sampling software to loop his parts with the band in real-time. Hébert anchors the pieces from the low end. Cleaver’s playing is sparse throughout—but it’s also a key element in this trio’s DNA. The pianist’s bluesy intro to the traditional gospel tune “Nearer My God To Thee” sets up a perfect entrance for the rhythm section, and Hébert and Cleaver land right in the thick of it. The trio never strays far from the melody, paying homage to the song’s long history; it was part of the repertoire of turn-of-the-century New Orleans jazz bands like Buddy Bolden’s. On a pair of tunes toward the end of the disc, Delbecq experiments with prepared piano (he added putty-like adhesive and wooden sticks to the piano’s strings). “Saints” is jittery, minimal electronica, where the piano notes are transformed into a series of warm blips and bleeps. The tune moves into “Sinners,” which finds Delbecq again using the prepared-piano technique, now with the addition of Hébert and Cleaver. The drummer builds a skeletal structure around the pianist’s lines, while Hébert easily finds his stride within the song’s busy rhythm. -- By Tom Burris http://www.freejazzblog.org/2014/01/john-hebert-trio-floodstage-clean-feed.html By Mark Corroto http://www.allaboutjazz.com/floodgates-john-hebert-clean-feed-records-review-by-mark-corroto.php By Grego Applegate Edwards http://www.gapplegateguitar.blogspot.com/2014/03/john-hebert-trio-floodstage.html Da Giuseppe Mavilla (it) http://www.scriveredijazz.blogspot.com/2014/03/floodstage.html Par Franpi Barriaux (fr) http://www.citizenjazz.com/John-Hebert-Trio.html Por Pachi Tapiz (es) http://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=14111 Por Ricardo Arribas (es) http://www.jazzitis.com/web/content/floodstage Sharing Widget |
