A MASTER SONGSMITH AT WORK.......2001-11-01
There are a few electric instruments on this recording -- the folk fan's bane, the synthesizer is here, but it's hard to notice, it's used so unobtrusively and tastefully -- but the album has a mainly acoustic feel, never allowing the arrangements to overshadow the songs themselves. The players that accompany Mallett here are all top-notch -- they show a great sensitivity to these tunes.
This album contains some of Mallett's finest writing -- the songs are melodic, memorable, and well-crafted, just what his regular listeners have come to expect from this talented artist.
Standouts for me are 'Closer now than ever', the album's opener, one of my all-time favorites of his work; 'Open doors and windows', 'Thanks to Mother Mercy', 'Photographs and memories' (not to be confused with the song by the late Jim Croce), and 'Northern lights'. Also especially notable are 'Milly, there's a dance in town', so full of the joy that the occasional dance offers the residents of a small town; and the beautifully evocative 'Snowbound', another one of Mallett's finest songs, full of the beauty and danger that lies in the harsh New England winters.
It's hard to go wrong in picking up any of Dave Mallett's recordings -- and he has many available, you just have to look a little harder for them (they're worth the effort) -- but I think this is one of his very best, a shining example of the art of the American songsmith.
[For a really exemplary collection of songs from Dave's early years, check out INCHES AND MILES, which brings together works from his first, independently-released albums. It includes 'Fire', 'The ballad of the St. Anne's reel', 'Phil Brown', and his classic 'Garden song', recorded and performed by so many other srtists that many people think it's traditional.]

Art of the Trio.......2001-03-08
Letting go..........2001-03-06
This music here is sound carved in emotion / emotion in balance / balance of spirit & mind / truly mindful creating...
All his trios have been very strong (with Dave Holland & Bob Moses, Miroslav Vitous & Ian Froman a.o.)...but here I feel:
-This recorded trio is the most balanced, they all seem to listen so much to eachother, suggest ideas, go separate ways to keep it interesting and still come back to the one(ness)....
-Laszlo seems the most relaxed, very inspired, without wanting to proove anything, really flowing, or even just being...
-Round Midnight is as much a masterpiece in his version as is the original...very powerful...Should have bared is name as the composer...
-Beautiful how free Laszlo plays over those changes of Blue in Green...
-John Lockwood, the bass-player, is a great fit for LG. A fat sound, impeccable time, creative and on his way but always supportive...
-The drummer unfortunately is a bit undermixed...But he has great rhythms and colors to offer & a fresh approach to the classic piano trio in jazz..
Short: Such a balance of energy...Beauty just through mere flowing and letting go. A moment rarely lived in music in general. Go get out there and get this...as it is a beautiful example of music that surrendered to the NOW.
