Chick Corea & Gary Burton • Native Sense

 

Review
by Richard S. Ginell
The Chick Corea/Gary Burton series resumed in the late '90s after a long hiatus with this beautiful CD of acoustic duets on piano, vibes and occasionally marimba. The collaborations on Native Sense: The New Duets sound remarkably fresh and spontaneous, with an inevitable sense of sweep and flow like a river rushing through rapidly changing terrain. Corea contributes the lion's share of compositions here; most are uniformly strong pieces of work. Some, like "No Mystery" and the Spanish-tinged "Love Castle," are from the past; others, like the title track, with its attractively revolving ostinato base, the brooding "Post Script," and "Rhumbata," were composed for the sessions. The exceptions to the Corea monopoly are Béla Bartók's Bagatelle No. 6, which serves as a prelude for Corea's brooding "Post Script," Bartók's exuberantly dissonant Bagatelle No. 2, and a madly rippling rendition of Thelonious Monk's "Four in One" as the sole bop-style workout of the session. This is the product of two mature masters in their mid-fifties from the jazz-rock era who know precisely what they want from their instruments and reject stylistic boundaries.

Reseña
por Richard S. Ginell
La serie Chick Corea/Gary Burton se reanudó a finales de los 90 tras un largo paréntesis con este hermoso CD de dúos acústicos de piano, vibráfono y ocasionalmente marimba. Las colaboraciones en Native Sense: The New Duets suenan notablemente frescas y espontáneas, con una inevitable sensación de barrido y flujo como un río que se precipita a través de un terreno que cambia rápidamente. Corea contribuye con la mayor parte de las composiciones aquí; la mayoría son piezas uniformemente fuertes. Algunas, como "No Mystery" y la española "Love Castle", proceden del pasado; otras, como la canción que da título al disco, con su atractiva base de ostinato giratorio, la melancólica "Post Script" y "Rhumbata", fueron compuestas para las sesiones. Las excepciones al monopolio de Corea son la Bagatelle nº 6 de Béla Bartók, que sirve de preludio a la melancólica "Post Script" de Corea, la exuberantemente disonante Bagatelle nº 2 de Bartók y una interpretación enloquecida de "Four in One" de Thelonious Monk como único ejercicio de estilo bop de la sesión. Este es el producto de dos maestros maduros de unos cincuenta años de la era del jazz-rock que saben exactamente lo que quieren de sus instrumentos y rechazan los límites estilísticos.
