Dan Wall • On the Inside Looking In

 

Review by David R. Adler
Organist Dan Wall, well known for his work with guitarist John Abercrombie, appears here in a fairly straight-ahead setting. His associates are highly esteemed in their own right: tenor saxophonist (and Double-Time labelmate) Jerry Bergonzi, guitarist Mick Goodrick, and drummer Billy Drummond. (Bergonzi only appears on half of the tracks.) The group begins with an understated yet sizzling rendition of "Witchcraft"; other standards include a wonderful organ/tenor duet on "The Masquerade Is Over" and a closing solo organ reading of "I Fall in Love Too Easily." Unfortunately, composer credits are entirely lacking on the CD package; one can only assume that Wall wrote the remaining tunes, including the fast-swinging title track, the bright waltz "Clouds," and the churning "5 Minute Funk." All the players acquit themselves well, not least of all the leader, who remains a major, if underrated, exponent of the post-bop B3 organ.

Reseña de David R. Adler
El organista Dan Wall, bien conocido por su trabajo con el guitarrista John Abercrombie, aparece aquí en un escenario bastante recto. Sus asociados son muy apreciados por derecho propio: el saxofonista tenor (y compañero de etiqueta de Double-Time) Jerry Bergonzi, el guitarrista Mick Goodrick, y el baterista Billy Drummond. (Bergonzi sólo aparece en la mitad de los temas.) El grupo comienza con una discreta pero chisporroteante interpretación de "Witchcraft"; otros estándares incluyen un maravilloso dúo órgano/tenor en "The Masquerade Is Over" y una lectura final en órgano solista de "I Fall in Love Too Easily". Desafortunadamente, los créditos de compositor faltan por completo en el paquete del CD; uno sólo puede asumir que Wall escribió las canciones restantes, incluyendo el título de la pista de rápido movimiento, el brillante vals "Clouds", y el agitado "5 Minute Funk". Todos los músicos se desenvuelven bien, y no menos importante es el líder, que sigue siendo un importante, aunque subestimado, exponente del órgano B3 post-bop.
