Music reviews of The Real Quietstorm

Music Review: Beautiful stuff
Rating: 5 Stars

Carter plays with two separate bands here: one features pianist Craig Taborn, bassist Jaribu Shahid & drummer Tani Tabbal, while another replaces the last two with the all-star rhythm section of Dave Holland & Leon Parker (though in point of fact the switch of rhythm sections doesn't make all that much of a difference to the sound of the music). Carter ranges through his arsenal of horns, &--most importantly--sounds good on all of them, even the bass flute with which he tackles "Ballad for a Doll". Carter's love of extrovert showmanship is sometimes apparent--as on his patented tumbling doubletime runs or the long held high note on "Round Midnight"--but never causes him to break the album's predominantly intimate & sensuous mood.

A fine album: ignore the cloying cover art & give a listen to the music within.
