Music reviews of Lowell Davidson Trio
Music Review: You had to hear them in person
Rating: 3 Stars
When I was a young jazz fan and graduate student in Boston in 1965, I had the privilege of of hearing many of the masters of jazz come through town. Coltrane, Charles Lloyd, Charlie Mariano, I could go on and on.
But one concert that stays with me to this day is a mesmerizing performance by the Lowell Davidson Trio with the rhythm section of Gary Peacock and Milford Graves, same as on this recording. So why am I giving this a meager 3 stars, where the previous heartfelt customer reviews have given it 5 stars? This may be part of the nature of jazz: sometimes it is best heard live. Sometimes the musicians are more inspired than other times. Sometimes the listener is in a different frame of mind than at other times. At any rate, I was so dissappointed in this recording. It failed to move me. Indeed, it was almost boring. The highlight of the concert was Milford's unique, slippery drumming. I have never heard anything like it. But on record, it seems almost aimless. In a review of a Giuseppi Logan record(remember this avant gardist?), the reviewer comments that Milford does not sound as good on that record as in person. He further comments that the couple of recordings under Milford's leadership do not capture him as good as he is in person. This Davidson Trio recording also illustrates another issue I struggled with. I dutifully
heard many of the avant garde musicians in person in an effort to understand jazz. I bought their records. I got rid of them all. They did not satisfy as much as the straight ahead jazz of the masters that I love. Much of the avant garde seems to be self indulgent posturing made by sincere musicians trying to be different. Thank you, Lowell Davidson trio, for a concert that was a highlight of my jazz life. I wish the recording could have done the same for me. I'm not accusing the Davidson trio of posturing, just that I didn't like this recording.
