Music reviews of Rabo de Nube
Music Review: My lord, what a set
Rating: 5 Stars
I will admit, I have only recently become a fan of Charles Lloyd, but with this album I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I am a fan as devoted as any other for life. 'Rabo de Nube' is definitely the best new jazz album I have heard this year, probably this decade. there just too much to say in praise of it... Where to begin.
This is a new band. Recently Lloyd has been playing a good deal with the phenomenally talented drummer Eric Harland (see 'Sangam' and 'Jumping the creek' both fine albums in their own right, though not quite like this I might argue) and in no way does Harland disappoint. His versatility and ability to be either very subtle or powerful and overstated is there as always and his drumming adds quite a lot to the mix. Jason Moran on piano and Reuben Rogers are new members to the quartet and they could not fit in better. Moran in particularly is just spectacular. He brings an energy and force to the quartet that is right at home and some of his playing is so good its frightening. His solo on "Sweet Georgia Bright" (my favorite song on the album) is just too good to be true. He takes off from Lloyd's solo with almost fanatic energy, cools down a down bit to restate a portion of the head of the song with a variation or two then goes off on his own. The solo grows and grows until reaches almost dizzyingly fast flurries of notes until it hits a solid groove right before the end of his solo. Thirty seconds of the best feeling swing in a sort of stride piano style thats ends with a long fall, at which point the piano drops out to give the bass some room. It is a truly awesome moment. I had to stop to catch my breath, listen to it again and then catch my breath again.
Lloyd himself has never sounded better. Like a fine wine he has just gotten better. His breathy, Coltrane like licks are so subtle and he can do so much. He has a nice range here, from hard-blowing "Sweet Georgia Bright to mor cerebral pieces "Prometheus" and "Ramanujan". He varies his instrumentation a little bit with his flute "Booker's Garden" and the eastern Taragato instrument on "Ramanujan". Booker's Garden is great tune, very interesting, in part because the contrast between its soft, somewhat cautious introduction and the rest of the song, which is perhaps what the classic Coltrane quartet would sound like if it had a funk influence.
Every once in a while an album comes out that's just mind blowing. I can still remember the first time I put 'A Love Supreme' on, or the opening of Mahavishnu Orchestra's 'Inner Mounting Flame' or the way Brecker interacted with the strings on 'Broadband', the first track of his album 'Wide Angles'. Although 'Rabo de Nube" is definitely in its own category when compared to the other albums listed above, it was no less spectacular. This is not an album I can praise highly enough. Although a lot has changed since his earlier Lloyd, Jarret, DeJohnette and McBee quartet, it has been for the better. He has created a true testament to the power of music.
Description of Rabo de Nube
To celebrate his 70th birthday, (March 15th) Charles Lloyd presents his first live quartet album; a really exciting set of music recorded in Basel in 2007 featuring a revamped Quartet now with young stars Jason Moran on piano and Reuben Rogers on bass both making ECM debuts here. The latest offering is blisteringly up-tempo and sensually ballad-oriented and include also a beautiful cover of Cuban singer-songwriter Silvio Rodríguez s tune.Jazz CDs
