Music reviews of The Melody of RhythmMusic Review: Inclusive Yet Unique: Classical World Jazz Fusion
Imagine in an alternate universe the avant-garde jazz group Oregon was a trio, with Ralph Towner playing banjo instead of guitar, tablist Collin Walcott was still alive, and Glen Moore played bass. What sort of sound would that be? In our own realm, we have three brilliant musical masters, Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer, and Zakir Hussain, who explore such a combination of timbre with some trio improvisations that are unique, neither bluegrass, nor jazz, nor classical, nor Indian, though a tinge of all may be discerned. Moreover, as the quartet Oregon played with the Moscow Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra, the trio is heard on this album with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra conducted by Leonard Slatkin. These particular tracks consist of a scored, truly classical triple concerto, The Melody of Rhythm, which was first performed with Slatkin and the Nashville Orchestra. It is dandy piece, with the soloists performing some bright flourishes, though the concerto structure is largely a scaffolding. The second movement particularly and to some extent the third have a strong flavor of a North Indian raga. It is a piece scored by a committee and it shows; but I enjoy the experiment. The beginning and concluding trio pieces are interesting chamber studies. Everything about this trio is novel. Stretch your ears with this album, which defies categorization.
