From Jazziz
The cello has made a triumphant return to jazz in recent years, long after occasional promising starts in the eras of West Coast and free jazz. It's easy to be a sucker for its human sonority and timbre. Fortunately, the cellists of late - Diedre Murray, Erik Friedlander, Hank Roberts, Monica Wilson - have each brought something fresh to their instrument. It was probably only a matter of time before someone recorded the equivalent of Bach's unaccompanied cello concerti - and it turns out to have been the Netherlands virtuoso, Ernst Reijseger.

To the point: Reijseger has produced a set of loosely linked solo performances that consistently engage and amaze in their elegance and freshness, all the while giving us a kind of mini-history of jazz: the cellist as rhythm guitarist, as bassist (ˆ la Slam Stewart), as funky guitarist, as ballad singer, as sonic wizard (sans electronics), as percussionist ... But Colla Parte is no flashy display of chops for chops sake. If anything, Reijseger understates much of his material, using repetition as a means of illumination, letting tones sing for themselves, taking time for the slow string bend or glissando to find its way - always unafraid of being accused of minimalism. Or for that matter, unafraid of beauty and grace and humor. And at this point in the history of our music, who's got a problem with that?
