Review by Matt Collar
After an extended layoff from studio recording, trumpeter Jon Faddis returns with Teranga. Taking its name from the Senegalese word for "hospitality," the album is an inspired and straightforward post-bop album and features Faddis in top form. Often driven by thick, acoustic basslines via Kiyoshi Kitagawa, Faddis' compositions are lush, visceral, and funky pieces that reveal the often flashy trumpeter's more enigmatic and thoughtful inclinations. Longtime fans shouldn't fear, though, as Faddis' sparkling tone and trademark monumental range remain intact and are showcased throughout. Besides his superb backing ensemble that includes pianist David Hazeltine and drummer Dion Parson, Faddis has also brought along such sympathetic collaborators as Senegalese percussionists Abdou M'Boup and Alioune Faye as well as baritone saxophonist Gary Smulyan, trumpeter Clark Terry, and others.

Reseña de Matt Collar
Tras un largo paréntesis de estudio, el trompetista Jon Faddis regresa con Teranga. El álbum, que toma su nombre de la palabra senegalesa que significa «hospitalidad», es un álbum post-bop inspirado y directo y presenta a Faddis en plena forma. A menudo impulsadas por gruesas líneas de bajo acústicas a través de Kiyoshi Kitagawa, las composiciones de Faddis son piezas exuberantes, viscerales y funky que revelan las inclinaciones más enigmáticas y reflexivas del trompetista, a menudo llamativo. Sin embargo, los fans de siempre no deben temer, ya que el tono chispeante de Faddis y su monumental registro característico permanecen intactos y se muestran a lo largo de todo el disco. Además de su magnífico grupo de acompañamiento, que incluye al pianista David Hazeltine y al batería Dion Parson, Faddis también ha contado con colaboradores tan simpáticos como los percusionistas senegaleses Abdou M'Boup y Alioune Faye, así como el saxofonista barítono Gary Smulyan y el trompetista Clark Terry, entre otros.
