Pat Labarbera-Kirk Macdonald Quartet • Silent Voices

 

This new collective quartet puts a unique spin on the “two-horn” sound. Performing originals from each of the band members as well as the jazz standard repertoire, the group recently toured Canada & recorded Silent Voices in July 2016.

“Pat LaBarbera and Kirk MacDonald mix and match their tenor and soprano saxes in an open sounding pianoless quartet with Kieran Overs/b and Adam Nussbaum/dr. Both reed players have strong tones on the tenor and mix an ability to swing with a desire to stretch out into the post-bop world.

The tenors meld together deliciously on the moody “Days of Old” as well as going inside and out on “Walk The Talk.” The rhythm team uses space judiciously on pieces such as in the semi-free “We Three” while the leaders foray back and forth like jai alai players on “22nd Street Waltz” and link together and slip away as members of a three-legged race on “Manhattan Getaway.”

The mix of soprano and tenor together works extremely well, creating a rich gumbo of harmonies on a few of the tracks. A hint of big band sax section and a hint of Coltrane. Intriguing.” by George W. Harris • August 7, 2017 • Jazz Weekly

Este nuevo cuarteto colectivo da un giro único al sonido de "dos trompas". Interpretando originales de cada uno de los miembros de la banda, así como el repertorio estándar de jazz, el grupo realizó recientemente una gira por Canadá y grabó Silent Voices en julio de 2016.

"Pat LaBarbera y Kirk MacDonald mezclan y combinan sus saxos tenor y soprano en un cuarteto sin piano de sonido abierto con Kieran Overs/b y Adam Nussbaum/dr. Ambos lengüeteros tienen tonos fuertes en el tenor y mezclan una habilidad para el swing con un deseo de estirarse hacia el mundo post-bop.

Los tenores se funden deliciosamente en la taciturna "Days of Old" y se adentran y se alejan en "Walk The Talk". El equipo rítmico utiliza el espacio juiciosamente en piezas como la semilibre "We Three", mientras que los líderes van y vienen como jugadores de jai alai en "22nd Street Waltz" y se unen y se escabullen como miembros de una carrera de tres piernas en "Manhattan Getaway".

La mezcla de soprano y tenor funciona extremadamente bien, creando un rico gumbo de armonías en algunos de los temas. Un toque de sección de saxo de big band y una pizca de Coltrane. Intrigante" por George W. Harris - 7 de agosto de 2017 - Jazz Weekly
