详细介绍:
In the liner notes to John Fahey%27s seminal album America, Charles M. Young writes that in art, You can always go deeper, even if you can%27t go any faster. That inward search for meaning and self-reflection is not an easy journey, and more often than not the artist either returns intact but unchallenged and unchanged, or with their wings melted off from the attempt to soar too close to the sun. On Immanuel Wilkins%27 exceptional second album, The 7th Hand, the altoist/composer and his quartet perform an hour-long suite of music that reaches into the deepest depths of creativity and group improvisation. Pianist Micah Thomas, bassist Daryl Johns, and drummer Kweku Sumbry return from their work on Wilkins%27 lauded debut Omega to play music that is as much rooted in the sacred fires of John Coltrane and Albert Ayler as in the beautiful compositional sculptures of artists such as Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. The 26-minute-long track Lift is the entry point for this spiritual service that travels from Love Supreme worship of the divine to a beautiful, gentle ballad of retrospection. Emanation is a post-bop tune that places Wilkins and his quartet squarely in the vaunted company of modern masters like Jason Moran and Kenny Garrett. On Lighthouse, Wilkins and company are joined by flautist Elena Pinderhughes on a tune that is reminiscent of the near-telepathic interplay between Coltrane and Eric Dolphy on their Village Vanguard recordings, while Farafina Kan Percussion Ensemble add their drum wizardry to Don%27t Break. An album of this type of emotional honesty and powerful compositional skill is hard to find in this era. The 7th Hand is both rooted in the tradition of post-bop jazz and a great example of how much fertile earth there is still to be tilled in the landscape of improvised music. © Rick Banales/Qobuz
