Ron Carter • So What



Review by Michael G. Nastos
Ron Carter's recordings as a leader have varied in shape and style, from his contemporary commercial CTI recordings, his Milestone LP's emphasizing the piccolo bass, more symphonic efforts, and straight-ahead efforts such as this one. With the extraordinary Kenny Barron at the piano and drummer Lewis Nash, Carter plays standards and four of his originals that all fall snugly into the modern mainstream of jazz. It's a relatively laid-back affair, as Barron's potential energy is for the most part subdued, while Nash and Carter lock in on a cooperative mindset. In lieu of balance, the pianist tenderly wafts through a ballad version of "My Foolish Heart," leads out quaintly on "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," and springs along happily during the Randy Weston evergreen "Hi-Fly." There's more of a challenge to Carter's original material, as the cute tune "It's About Time" offers up tricky tandem playing from the bassist and Barron, "The Third Plane" is polite bop as the pianist slightly extrapolates, surrounding Carter's talk-back type melodic inserts, and while the emotional content of the trio darkens on the pensive, anticipatory "Three More Days." There's a thin veil of swing and blues similar to the standard "Too Close for Comfort" on "Eddie's Theme," while the opener "So What," a song Carter played with Miles Davis and on his own a thousand times, sports his lead bass melody line with a freshness that is reinvented. Truly a team effort, this consistently well-played set should remind us all how brilliant these players are, especially with the cool Count Basie concept of "less is more" in mind.

Las grabaciones de Ron Carter como líder han variado en forma y estilo, desde sus grabaciones comerciales contemporáneas de CTI, sus LP de Milestone que enfatizan el bajo piccolo, los esfuerzos más sinfónicos y los esfuerzos directos como este. Con el extraordinario Kenny Barron en el piano y el baterista Lewis Nash, Carter toca los estándares y cuatro de sus originales que encajan perfectamente en la corriente principal moderna del jazz. Es un asunto relativamente relajado, ya que la energía potencial de Barron es en su mayor parte moderada, mientras que Nash y Carter se enfocan en una mentalidad cooperativa. En lugar de mantener el equilibrio, el pianista sopla con ternura una versión balada de "My Foolish Heart", comenta de manera extraña en "You Be So Nice To Come To To To To To You", y brota alegremente durante el Evergreen de Randy Weston "Hi-Fly . " El material original de Carter presenta un desafío mayor, ya que la linda melodía "It's About Time" ofrece una complicada interpretación en tándem por parte del bajista y Barron, "The Third Plane" es cortés, ya que el pianista extrapola un poco, rodeando el tipo de comentarios de Carter. inserciones melódicas, y mientras el contenido emocional del trío se oscurece en el pensativo, anticipativo "Tres días más". Hay un delgado velo de swing y blues similar al estándar "Too Close for Comfort" en "Eddie's Theme", mientras que el abridor "So What", una canción que Carter tocó con Miles Davis y él solo mil veces, mantiene su ventaja. Línea de bajo melodía con una frescura que se reinventa. Verdaderamente un esfuerzo de equipo, este conjunto bien jugado debería recordarnos a todos lo brillantes que son estos jugadores, especialmente con el genial concepto Count Basie de "menos es más" en mente.
