Bobo Stenson - Cantando

Recommended Posts

Bobo Stenson has a new album out called Cantando. This is my first album of his. I have been curious about him for a while now. I picked up his rarum cd cheap about a year ago from the Jazz Heritage Society, but never got around to opening it up.

I've had this a couple of weeks now, and it took me a while to warm up to it. I realized today that there is one track that goes off the edge of the cliff, and has been interfering with my enjoyment of the cd. It really is a great album for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

The trio is completed by Anders Jormin on bass and Jon Falt on drums. Although the players are not as equal as the Evans/LaFaro/Motian trio, Jormin is much more up front than most trio bassists are.

I plan to burn a copy without the one track that I don't like. I'm sure that once that's done I'll be playing it a lot.

Bob is always a favorite. :-)

:lol:

Typo fixed!

I like that long free piece in the middle.

Yet what's really getting my attention is another one of those Ornette Coleman un-recorded compositions taught to pianist Joachim Kuhn (who's now recorded a handful of them) that came to Stenson via a French bassist and is recorded here as "A Fixed Goal." New Ornette!
