Music reviews of Funk Tango
Music Review: Intriguing.
Rating: 4 Stars
The Cuban saxman/clarinetist still has enough room to say what needs to be said.
He is is such a compelling improviser and his latest album "Funk Tango" is another prove of his skills.
D'Rivera approaches tango from an instrumental jazz perspective, making his way to Buenos Aires by way of a grooved-up rhythm section.
This is jazz with both Afro-Cuban and Brazilian jazz and bebop, but it's jazz first and foremost.
The most obvious stylistic debt is unsurprisingly owed to Astor Piazzolla's "Milonga 10".
Here he is joined by pianists Alon Yavnai, Ed Simon and Fernando Otero, electric bassist Oscar Stagnaro, drummer Mark Walker and trumpeter Diego Urcola.
What is most impressive about this beguiling and intensely listenable album is the ease and naturalness with which D'Rivera and his quintet fit into the proceedings.
Paquito's soprano contribution to the slow-burning "Revirado", for instance, is simply sublime, his tone pure and keening, taking jazz in with tango rhythms to great effect, proving again just how adaptable and powerful a player he is.
Paquito and friends continue to mine a wonderfully rich seam of music, and his choice and use of 'jazz' partners on this attractive album has paid rich dividends : a Grammy !
