Earth Birth-Randy Weston专辑介绍

by Richard S. Ginell

Recorded in Montreal with 24 strings from the Montreal Symphony and two can't-miss jazz cohorts, bassist

Christian McBride

and drummer

Billy Higgins

, here we have another reunion between

Weston

and arranger

Melba Liston

in a collection of mostly early

Weston

tunes, some dating back to the early 1950s. The strings sound unearthly, as if they were recorded in a dead studio (the locale is the Ludget-Duvernay Hall of Montreal's Monument National), and even though

Liston

blends them with the piano in an integral manner, they respond stiffly; it's an uneasy, not terribly imaginative fusion. The most famous

Weston

tune "Hi-Fly" is completely retooled into a cocktail-hour ballad - it also features the most intricate string chart - and composer

Weston

enjoys poking around the tune's angles and corners. Coming after his exciting African experiments in the '90s, this CD, despite Weston's sharply-etched solos, is a relatively minor nostalgic effort.
