Call this Australian-born pianist's New York answering machine and you'll hear Radiohead's "Knives Out," a forlorn song that slips and slides like a wicked ocean undertow. This is a clue to the open-ended music of Release the Day, which hints at the dark melodies of Radiohead, the happy strut of Dollar Brand, the exotic allure of Randy Weston, and the funky counter-rhythms of Cubano bop. The opening track, "Thirty Three," is a simple motif repeated for 15-plus minutes, casting an engrossing spell while Joey Baron, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Eddie Bobe, and Gary Bartz tease its gossamer melody. It's a simmering introduction to a beautiful record. The album inches along from the Afro-Cuban rumination of "Obatala" to the spectral chant of "Chaos Lento" to the bluesy, beautiful saunter of the "Release the Day," which recalls a Becker-Fagen brass melody from Aja or Two Against Nature. Using space and simplicity, Barney McAll conjures mighty music. --Ken Micallef

Stellar Debut by Little Known Jazz Pianist.......2001-06-12

Who is Barney McAll? With no biographical information included in this CD package it's hard to know. I have a feeling he's from Down Under, but that's just a guess.

But it doesn't matter. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and there's some awfully tasty goodies here. The first cut, "Thirty Three," a slow burn featuring Obatala rhythms, grabs right from the outset and doesn't let go. Featuring some very creative horn work as well as mesmerizing percussion, not to mention stunning piano playing, this is the high point of the set, worth every single second of its fifteen-plus mintues. Still, there's not a weak cut in the bunch. Although most tunes are slow ballads or mid-tempo grooves, McAll's so full of ideas that he always keeps things interesting.

If you've enjoyed Nocturne, the latest from Charlie Haden, or anything by Peter Epstein, give this a try. Highest recommendation.

Album Description

The indisputable father of what is known today as Latin Jazz, Mario Bauza recorded "Afro-Cuban Jazz" in 1986, reuniting some of the greatest figures of this genre. Paquito D'Rivera (alto & soprano sax), Jorge Dalto (piano), Patato Valdes (congas), Jose A. Fajardo (flute), Ignacio Berroa (drums), Graciela Grillo (vocals) and Claudio Roditti (trumpet), were only some of the exceptional musicians that graced this masterpiece.

Album Details

He Became Musical Director of the Chick Webb Orchestra and Helped Convinced Webb to Hire Ella Fitzgerald as his Lead Singer. He Went on to Play with Don Redman and Cab Calloway, Convincing the Hi De Ho Man to Hire Dizzy Gillespie in his Orchestra.

This Volume Encapsulates but a Portion of Bauza's Great Contribution of Cuban Jazz to the American Idiom, One of It's Great Unsung Heroes.
