Avery Sharpe & John Blake • Epic Ebony Journey



There is a powerful earthy ambience to bass/violin duet environment of Epic Ebony Journey - Bassist Avery Sharpe provides thick, pulsing chords beneath the humid flight of John Blake's violin - This landscape is best detected in the disc's closer, the Isham Jones standard, "There is No Greater Love" - Here Sharpe lays out the groundwork for Blake's flight of fancy, and then they trade places - This fertile and virile spirit permeates the remainder of the recording also - Epic Ebony Journey is a musical documentation of the struggle in the African-American experience - "Movin' Up" and "Prayer Meetin'" are Mingus-esque tomes full of the history of the blues, jazz, and gospel music - "Underground Railroad" sports some moaning arco from Sharpe.

The duo is a splendid platform for examining the bare essentials of melody and harmony - "Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child" is the perfect vehicle for earthy music that intersects with a jazz sensibility - Sharpe's rhythmic arco firmly grounds Blake's violin lament - John Coltrane's "Mr - P.C." receives a stripped-down, supercharged reading with Blake shooting spitfire notes, forming an aural halo around Sharpe's foundation - Blake takes a solo shot at McCoy Tyner's "Passion Dance", pushing the melody to the limits - Sharpe's own "Jim Crow" provides the bassist with his own spotlight - Sometimes the simple things are best - This is one of those times.

Hay un poderoso ambiente terrenal en el ambiente de dúo bajo/violín de Epic Ebony Journey - El bajista Avery Sharpe proporciona acordes gruesos y pulsantes bajo el vuelo húmedo del violín de John Blake - Este paisaje se detecta mejor en el disco más cercano, el estándar de Isham Jones, "No hay mayor amor" - Aquí Sharpe establece las bases para el vuelo de fantasía de Blake, y luego intercambian lugares - Este espíritu fértil y viril impregna también el resto de la grabación - Epic Ebony Journey es una documentación musical de la lucha en la experiencia afroamericana - "Movin' Up" y "Prayer Meetin'" son tomos al estilo Mingus llenos de la historia del blues, el jazz y el gospel - "Ferrocarril Subterráneo" tiene un arco quejumbroso de Sharpe.

El dúo es una espléndida plataforma para examinar lo esencial de la melodía y la armonía - "Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child" es el vehículo perfecto para la música terrenal que se cruza con una sensibilidad jazzística - El arco rítmico de Sharpe es la base del lamento de Blake por el violín - El "Sr - P.C." de John Coltrane recibe una lectura despojada y sobrecargada con las notas de Blake disparando spitfire, formando un halo auditivo alrededor de la fundación de Sharpe - Blake dispara en solitario al "Passion Dance" de McCoy Tyner, llevando la melodía al límite - El propio "Jim Crow" de Sharpe proporciona al bajista su propio foco de atención - A veces las cosas simples son las mejores - Esta es una de esas veces.
