Eddie Gomez, Billy Drummond, Yutaka Kobayashi Featuring Al Di Meola – Beautiful Love - The NYC Session
Review by Thom Jurek
This is a nice date of solid jazz nuggets, a tango, and a few originals played by a killer group of veterans: an excellent trio that includes Eddie Gómez, Billy Drummond, and Japanese piano virtuoso and composer Yutaka Kobayashi. Guitarist Al di Meola appears on two tracks as well. The three originals by Kobayashi are beautifully subtle yet with a richly textured and harmonically compelling palette, particularly "Sundry Waltz No. 9," which builds from a very skeletal piano figure into a full-blown swinging keyboard walker -- Drummond's brushwork is gorgeous as well. The reading of Wayne Shorter's "Nefertiti" is very rich and deep, with Gómez's bassline reaching right into the heart of the mode for a near duplicate melody line. Chick Corea's "Captain Marvel" comes across as a shock due to di Meola's electric guitar sting. His other appearance occurs on the album's final cut, a deeply moving interpretation of Astor Piazzolla's "Chiquilin de Bachin," where he plays an acoustic nylon-string guitar in the nuevo tango style, which walks across both fado and flamenco in its invention. In all, this is a very satisfying and utterly engaging date.

Reseña de Thom Jurek
Esta es una buena cita de sólidas pepitas de jazz, un tango y algunos originales interpretados por un grupo de veteranos que es excelente: un trío que incluye a Eddie Gómez, Billy Drummond y el virtuoso pianista y compositor japonés Yutaka Kobayashi. El guitarrista Al di Meola aparece también en dos temas. Los tres temas originales de Kobayashi son maravillosamente sutiles, pero con una paleta ricamente texturizada y armónicamente convincente, en particular "Sundry Waltz No. 9", que pasa de ser una figura de piano muy esquelética a ser un caminante de teclados en toda regla; la pincelada de Drummond también es magnífica. La lectura de "Nefertiti" de Wayne Shorter es muy rica y profunda, con la línea de bajo de Gómez llegando al corazón del modo para una línea melódica casi duplicada. "Captain Marvel" de Chick Corea resulta chocante por el picado de la guitarra eléctrica de di Meola. Su otra aparición se produce en el último corte del álbum, una interpretación profundamente conmovedora de "Chiquilin de Bachin" de Astor Piazzolla, donde toca una guitarra acústica de cuerdas de nylon en el estilo del nuevo tango, que camina a través del fado y el flamenco en su invención. En definitiva, se trata de una cita muy satisfactoria y absolutamente atractiva.
