详细介绍:
Joe Chambers is probably best known for his drumming on Blue Note LPs from the 1960s, many of which are now considered classics. But this consummate musician is also a composer and has played on numerous other releases over the course of his lengthy career as a vibraphonist and pianist.
Since his 1973 debut as a leader, The Almoravid, he has put out several of his own fine albums; add 2023%27s Dance Kobina to that list. Chambers%27 drumming doesn%27t call attention to itself, but tune into his playing and you will find lovely percussive colors, refreshing rhythmic invention, and a profound sense of swing.
Andres Vial, one of several Montreal-based musicians who appear on the album, wrote and played piano on the spirited title track. Highly melodic and rhythmically layered, Dance Kobina brings to mind the complex-yet-catchy compositions of Chick Corea. The whole band sounds great, with Michael Davidson%27s vibraphone and Elli Miller Maboungou%27s Ngoma drums making key contributions.
On the Chambers original, Caravanserai, Rick Germanson%27s piano and Chambers%27 vibraphone delineate the speeding theme in tandem. Chambers%27 cymbal work later creates a powerful current that drives Germanson%27s solo. Mark Lewandowski%27s bass and Emilio Valdes%27 Latin percussion add to the strong sense of forward motion that animates this lively piece.
A version of Joe Henderson%27s Power to the People stands out. After stating the zigzagging head on tenor sax, Marvin Carter%27s solo brings out the theme%27s Eastern qualities. Traces of Henderson%27s brawny sound can also be heard during Carter%27s ace performance. Chambers navigates the track in ever-responsive ways, and his vibraphone adds nice timbral highlights.
Chambers turned 80 in 2022 and Dance Kobina shows that the jazz master has not lost a step. © Fred Cisterna/Qobuz
