Shine!, by JD Allen Trio

Shine!

by JD Allen Trio

supported by

John Cratchley J D has such a singular sound and technique and his approach to the sax is what I would describe as "lateral"...he just doesn't 'come at it' like anybody else...so his records occupy a rarified position in my collection: intense (almost ascetic) sound of great purity,I think...a deep listen for me...

about

"The notion of jazz music being equal measures of construction and deconstruction of musical elements is well heeded. Development of a compatible group of musicians and the assembly of the harmonic and melodic elements to create a tune are both important examples of construction in jazz.
Deconstruction can be just as stimulating by subverting elements at will and allowing the musicians the freedom to express themselves without a script. Saxophonist JD Allen has done his best to bridge the gap between the two on his new recording Shine! He has done so by taking his crack trio, featuring bassist Gregg August and drummer Rudy Royston, through the paces on not only his well-constructed compositions but also through more open improvisatory passages. Allen’s penchant for melody comes through in his compositions and improvisations no matter how far off the beaten path. The trio navigates the music with aplomb and makes Shine! a fantastic addition to JD Allen’s growing discography."

Saw them at Half Moon Bay and missed the first set due to a logistical error. I was intrigued and wanted to at least hear the entire album. I hope to see a video of a full live performance of the Glass Hours when one hopefully becomes available. davidsgreen
