JERRY LEAKE / Cubist: Shapes of Sound and Time (Rhombus)

Un percussionniste “du monde”, Jerry Leake a assemblé pour Cubist une joyeuse sélection de musiciens jazz, funk et “world”. Son écriture est dansante, accessible et fortement métissée, proposant un jazz-funk aux couleurs africaines et indiennes, avec des traces indonésiennes et amérindiennes... entre autres! Le guitariste Randy Roos est le bras droit de Leake, et ses solos bien sentis volent la vedette à quelques reprises. Les arrangements de cuivres sont également solides et se marient bien avec les les percussions. À certains moments, je me suis pensé sur Apocalypse du Mahavishnu Orchestra. Un solide disque tombé de nulle part. [Ci-dessous: des tonnes d’extraits de l’album sur cette page.]

A “world” percussionist, Jerry Leake gathered a fun line-up of jazz, funk, and world musicians for Cubist. His writing is danceable, accessible, and highly crossbred, deliverning jazz-funk full of African and Indian colours, with traces of Indonesia and Native America… among others! Guitarist Randy Roos is Leake’s right-hand man, and his spirited solos steal the show a few times. The horn arrangements are strong and blend in well with the percussions. At some points, I could have though I was into Mahavishnu Orchestra’s Apocalypse. A strong record that came out of nowhere. [Below: Tons of soundclips on this web page.]
