Music reviews of When the Heart Emerges Glistening

Music Review: The Future of Jazz
Rating: 5 Stars

Hello & thanks for reading. Here we have what I like to refer to as the future of jazz because Ambrose & the guys on this album are all young men in their prime. These are the next batch of players like the masters that came before that are taking the music to fresh areas of expression & into the future. Anyhow here you have the second album by 29yr old trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire a native of Oakland CA that now resides in the fertile jazz scene of NYC. Ambrose has been playing & performing on the international jazz scene for more than a decade first coming to my attention in 2000 as a member of Steve Coleman's Five Elements appearing on Resistance Is Futile. In my opinion Ambrose stands out in a scene with a great number of heavy hitting trumpeters not just because he has chops to spare but because the man is a composer of the first rate. If I had to make a comparison I'd say he & Terrence Blanchard are in the same musical sphere but that would make sense because Ambrose studied with Blanchard. All things aside I believe Ambrose is only at the start of his journey. I always like to acknowledge the supporting cast of an album. Ambrose has assembled a awesome quintet to realize his compositions. Walter Smith iii on tenor is one of my personal favorites working today, he has developed a unique sound on his horn and featured Ambrose on his latest album for Criss Cross III as well as his two previous albumsLive in Paris &Casually Introducing. Justin Brown is on drums reprising his role from Ambrose's 1st album. Brown's drumming is excellent in my opinion for this music because you need a 21st century drummer to play music that's fresh like the music here. Justin's drumming touches on so many styles & cultures, I hear serious Afro-Cuban blended with the church & hip hop. Check out My Name is Oscar for the scope of Justin's talents, this man is smoking! On acoustic bass Harish Raghavan a new name to me, I first heard him laying it down behind pianist Taylor Eigsti on his cd Let It Come to You Harish commands a dark fat but clear tone that supports the low end duties of the harmony with ease while stepping forward to let know he's there at the right moments. Gerald Clayton is playing piano & Fender Rhodes and boy does he play! You may never guess that your hearing a 26 yr old, he has plenty of chops at the keyboard but he usually never allows them to dominate his playing instead a poised elegance with groove that can swing I always think he sounds a bit like Wynton Kelly with shades of Bill Evans & Oscar Peterson. The reason I believe this music has the sparks that it does is because all the band members are a tight group of musical partners & they're friends after the music stops. There's no generational gap between the players they're all young men living their dream & I must say the music they produce together is very beautiful. Here are a few on my song high points. The lead off track Confessions to My Unborn Daughter is a beautiful ensemble piece that reminds me at times of Brian Blade's FellowShip. Henya bass intro features some nice melodic solo playing from Harish Raghavan which segues seamlessly into Henya which is a beautiful melodic ballad that reminds me of the way Mingus or Monk used dissonance to represent beauty like Good Bye Porkpie Hat & Ruby My Dear. This music seems to be more introspective & lyrical but there are lots of nice burning moments of intensity especially from the soloists. Ambrose delivers a masterful trumpet performance on the hauntingly beautiful Regret(No More) he really makes the trumpet sing in ways I'v personally never experienced until now. With that final remark I'll close by saying I think this album When The Heart Emerges Glistening is a fantastic piece of beautiful music that must be heard & experienced to fully appreciate. Check this one out!

Description of When the Heart Emerges Glistening

Co-produced by Akinmusire and his label mate and mentor Jason Moran, the album's 12 songs (10 of which were composed by Akinmusire) feature the 28-year-old trumpeter's young quintet (tenor saxophonist Walter Smith III, pianist Gerald Clayton, bassist Harish Raghavan, and drummer Justin Brown), a close-knit group of longtime friends and frequent collaborators that breathes a remarkable collective identity. The New York Times wrote that the quintet "seems destined for much wider recognition," and described their unique sound as "limber, straight-ahead jazz with mystery and pop instincts that gets around most of the old, pervasive mainstream influences, both of trumpet playing and bandleading."
