Reclamation, by Stephan Crump

Reclamation

by Stephan Crump

supported by

John Cratchley Second outing...confident and assured; the combination of two guitars and a bass (unusual) is beginning to coalesce, I think, on this recording...it sits easy on the ear; allowing you to concentrate on the rhythms and delicate filigree on show.

about

"Crump brought together Rosetta Trio for the first time in 2005 to record an album of pieces written in the aftermath of 9/11. That “engaging and sublime meeting” of Crump on acoustic bass with guitarists Liberty Ellman and Jamie Fox, produced the album Rosetta which was released in 2006 and greeted enthusiastically by fans, radio and the press. “Here is a string ensemble for the new century!"" raved Donald Elfman in All About Jazz NY.

Reclamation is much more than a follow-up effort to its ecstatically-received predecessor, though it was the earlier album that gave the trio its name and its mission: to inhabit the dynamic and rhythmic flexibility of a drumless ensemble and embrace its challenges and expanded responsibilities; to reject restrictions of genre; to explore different territories of feel, texture, color; to groove. Here the trio further develops its intimate synergy and reveals its maturity after having toured and recorded in numerous contexts since those first sessions. This is a band.

The album’s opening track, “Memphis,” delves into the theme with an loping wistfulness, as Crump honors that which his hometown has given him while also conjuring a fitful goodbye. The intensity of “Overreach” speaks to the self-destructive tendencies of his own country while the epic “Pernambuco” looks outward from the Brazilian wood from which his bass bow was carved, to the whole of history and the ravaging of a rich land’s resources. The introspective “Escalateur” is a song of striving, ascending, while the center track warns of the ways technology can render us “Here Not Here.”"

I've had this idea for more than a few years now that bass players seem to keep making the most wonderful, thought provoking jazz music. Stephan is absolutely in line with a generation of players, like Drew Gress, Matt Brewer, Mats Eilertsen and Scott Colley. Great tunes, great improv and the ability to get great performances from their fellow musicians. jazzrob

This quintet has acquired legendary status as a working unit...all the musicians are exemplary at their craft and DD is one of my 'Big5'...he is an exquisite composer of both depth and breadth of vision...you can instantly recognise Dave's DNA in a tune...what's more, you feel there is also so much more to come!;his powers of expression are so special. These compositions are from the heart and I can only suggest that you take them to yours... John Cratchley

Convallaria

Simply put; a masterclass of interplay and irrepressible, focused momentum...Mary Halvorson may have well invented a new sound: the disintegrating guitar solo! Spectacular... John Cratchley

It's almost hard to believe there's any space for Tim to fit in when they play this stuff as a duo! The magical uber-complex counterpoint flowing from and resolving to the killer tunes has a similar feel to the full band Berne but these are clarifying in their complexity - you can understand all the moving parts on the same level. Also perhaps the best showcase of Mr Mitchell's solo skills I've heard - he's fully in his element! Giles
