Music reviews of Feel
Music Review: The Jesse Harris groove is alive
Rating: 4 Stars
The first song, "Feel" captures you right away, but then the next songs start to blur and you're not so sure. But, I can report that after listening to the album nonstop for several days now, this one is addicting and beautiful. There isn't really a weak song on it, except for maybe the last one, but everybody seems to like that one so I'll go along.
Beginning with Mineral (even before, in a more rock-ish way), Harris has become like an aural artist or a tone painter. In another era, he might have been like Ravel, Satie or Debussy. The sound is spare, and fills the space only when necessary. Harris chose his accompanying musicians well, and you see how rich the choices are around The Living Room back in NYC...a pool which includes Norah Jones and her band. Here, Tim Lunzel plays some creative bass and Andrew Borger, the drummer (or really percussionist) for The Handsome Band, handles the rhythm instruments. Borger is the perfect choice; he's maturing into a very interesting, jazzy, idiosyncratic drummer, perfect for Norah's sound but clearly just right for this disc, too.
Harris' lyrics, even though he's the guy who wrote "Don't Know Why," on this disc often seem like they are either not important, not thought through...or maybe it would be better if he teamed up with a really good lyric writer amongst his Living Room colleagues, such as Richard Julian or Lee Alexander. But, even that criticism fades the more you listen to this disc. The lyrics are also kind of impressionistic, or maybe improvised and childlike. I'll go four stars because the lyrics aren't 5-star level, but heck, maybe that's picking on something not that important.
He is influenced by and apparently reveres Brazilian music, and you hear that on "Feel," but then, he's really taken it into his own so it's Jesse Harris, not ersatz Brazilian. The variety of sounds and rhythms is fantastic, way beyond most records these days. This album might be compared to Paul Simon's Graceland kind of thing, but to me this album is different because it is not Jesse Harris doing Brazilian music but just...Jesse Harris.
Anyway, buy this one and you're in for an amazing sound experience, especially with some good headphones on. I guess it could serve as background music for a summer afternoon and a few glasses of wine, but there's a lot more to it than that.
