Even better than Landscapes, the US alto saxophonist Nicole McCabe has
Landscapes bassist Logan Kane with her while pianist Iannis Obiols scurries
pleasingly on Thelonious Monk's 'I Mean You' and drummer Ramon Prats join her
at the Catalan capital Barcelona's jazz club Jamboree playing there for the
first time and recorded last year. Mostly the tempi are fairly slow so you can
hear lots of detail, it gets more heated on the Monk. The audience applause is
also enjoyably captured in the sonics enough to make you begin dreaming and
imagine being there and isn't annoying. Material here includes that Kane
figuring gem from the earlier album on McCabe original 'Finding Beauty in an
Unexpected Place' and grows on us even more. The McCabe intro to a fabulous
13-minute version of Benny Golson classic 'Stablemates' that Miles introduced
to the canon with the First Great Quintet released in 1956 on Miles (Prestige)
and which is massively reharmonised and elaborated upon winningly in the
improvisation is top drawer. Tonally that bit more original, timbrally
personality laden - how inspiring.
