详细介绍:
Rather than contempt, familiarity breeds a comfortable groove on Swallow Tales, a shared vision for a group of notable tunes written by the venerable bass veteran Steve Swallow. This straight-ahead conversation between old friends and musical partners was recorded in a brief four hours; the result is a flavorful snapshot of a long and fruitful relationship now over 40 years old between guitarist John Scofield and his mentor Swallow. The pair is accompanied by Scofield%27s go-to drummer, the versatile Bill Stewart, whom the guitarist has played with in a number of different musical contexts.
Energized by the easy charm of musical instinct, this session opens with one of Swallow%27s most beautiful ballads, She Was Young, before shifting to Falling Grace, where Stewart%27s natural and infallible rhythms support Swallow who sweeps into his signature broken time bass style. Scofield stretches out and shows his sense of invention and flair for concise solos in a fast take Portsmouth Figurations, a tune he first heard on one of his earliest album influences, Gary Burton%27s Duster.
The most famous number Eiderdown, (also the first tune Swallow ever wrote and has been covered by the likes of Chick Corea, Bill Evans and Phil Woods), receives a spirited run through with Scofield, who says he once struggled to master these changes. He deftly travels up and down the guitar neck, preferring high notes, while Stewart takes an orderly, articulate solo. Another oft-recorded tune, the waltzy Hullo Bolinas, is taken at a brisk pace while the bassist%27s playful borrowing from Cole Porter—In F—also features another measured, tasteful solo from Stewart. A reunion more interested in bringing fresh insights to well-known repertoire than pushing envelopes, Swallow Tales is the sound of masters at work. © Robert Baird/Qobuz
