Music reviews of Swing OutMusic Review: Mintzer's Wake Up Call
As this ablum commences, I hear some riffs akin to Maria Schneider's own big band (track 5, Beyond the Limit, does have her feel with the arrangement of staccato chordal brass...albeit without the slight dissonance) but quickly Bob Mintzer's own writing emerges, and it is filled with energy and movement and some solid perfomances. This band has four trombones and three trumpets, six saxophones, piano, bass, and drums. It is a big brassy sound. Track listings cite soloists; Mintzer's own tenor saxophone, of course, in the main. It is all up tempo, except for track 6, Minuano, which was composed by Lyle Mays and Pat Metheny with Kurt Elling's lyrics. We hear a layering of tempos, and the piece is absolutely splendid. Elling sings here, and Mintzer and Phil Markowtiz, piano, solo. Even the last track, Someday My Prince Will Come, which is normally a classic slow ballad, is arranged, or deconstructed in bop fashion, and pulses. There are comparatively few truly big bands left in jazz...nonents are the typical group maximum...hence, when we hear Mintzer's band sing out in full, we rejoice. Forget the coffee: play this album when you need to be stimulated in the morning. You will be up and about in good spirits.
