Latitude
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Challenging without being obtuse, spacious without being spacey, Matt Flinner's second effort bridges the gap between melodic old-time music and structure-slicing "newgrass." One of the hottest mandolinists in contemporary acoustic music, Flinner composes both terse, elegant instrumentals--the title track, for example, has the wistful, timeless feel of a British Isle folk song--and open-ended, improvisational epics. On the five-minute "Sam I Am" (a sly wink at kindred spirit Sam Bush), Flinner and bassist Todd Phillips call and respond deftly, while Darol Anger saws some eerie, off-axis fiddle licks. Flinner clearly has his eye on the acoustic jazz ventures of David Grisman, but through his light, lyrical touch, as well as Stuart Duncan's impeccable fiddle and Jerry Douglas's razor-fine dobro, he endows much of Latitude with a distinct and often beguiling country feel. --Roy Kasten

better than the 1st 2.......2001-01-27
String Jazz Magic.......2001-01-25
The foundation of this record, as with "The View From Here," Flinner's solo debut, is his fresh songwriting. Claiming influences as far a field as jazz great Miles Davis, Ireland's Bothy Band, and, yes, David Grisman, Flinner gins these into a coherent approach to crafting melodies and rhythms that not only captivate on their own, but provide a solid structure for the improvisational work that really makes this recording shine.
With talent like David Grier on guitar, Todd Phillips (Grisman's original second mandolin player for the David Grisman Quintet) on bass, Jerry Douglas on Dobro, and Stuart Duncan and Darol Anger taking turns on fiddle, there's bound to be some fireworks. They do not disappoint. The licks are clean, creative, and varied. Phillips extends the voice of the bass beyond the expected. Grier stuns with his musical ideas. Flinner makes his mandolin sing, bark, chime and chirp. Duncan is solid throughout, and Anger is just plain spooky.
The dramatic shifts in dynamics and rhythm from song to song (and within pieces) may surprise listeners more accustomed to the steady barrage of sixteenth notes and the 2/4 thwack common to string music from string bands with bluegrass or old-time backgrounds. This record so defies that stereotype that it seems more fitting to give this label other than "newgrass." True, these musicians' experience draws from the rich traditions of American string music, but you really only need one word to describe this mix of creative songsmithing and masterful improvisation: jazz.
Where Miles would give you a nudge from somewhere within the pentatonic scale in a place you don't expect, Flinner gracefully fills the space with amazing mandolin tone. Where the Bothy Band didn't stray too far from traditional form in their approach to music, Flinner creates his own while tipping his hat to our music's Celtic ancestry. And where David Grisman relies on the pioneering ideas of Django Reinhart and the groovy forms of Caribbean and Brazilian jazz to guide much of his jazzier work, Flinner draws from bop and funk to drive his tunes.
I'm already looking forward to the third record ...

Album Description
"Latitude" is the first in a trilogy of recordings for Thirsty Ear's Blue Series; an ongoing collaboration between Charlie Hunter and Bobby Previte, world class guitarist and drummer, respectively. Each album is enhanced with the addition of a different guest, making for a fresh and unique trio. This release features Greg Osby on alto sax. Osby's lyricism is morphed into countless shapes and colors, underpinned by Previte's use of electronic drums to trigger samples that intertwine with Hunter's endless rhythmic flow and funky melodicism. The result is a sound that speaks to jazz fans on both sides of the avant-garde/mainstream divide, as well as those who enjoy electronica or the jam-band scene.Customer Reviews:
