Ted Nash • In the Loop

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Ted Nash returns to modern mainstream jazz on this mostly straight-ahead quintet set, In the Loop. Nash's originals include brooding ballads à la Wayne Shorter, hints of New Orleans parade rhythms, some hard bop and freer playing, none of it sounding particularly derivative. Nash and the enthusiastic Marcus Printup make for a colorful front line, with Frank Kimbrough, Ben Allison, and Matt Wilson being a solid and flexible rhythm section. The diverse compositions and consistently strong playing make this a set well-worth exploring.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Ted Nash vuelve al jazz moderno en este quinteto, In the Loop. Los originales de Nash incluyen baladas melancólicas a lo Wayne Shorter, toques de ritmos de desfile de Nueva Orleans, algo de hard bop y una interpretación más libre, sin que nada de ello suene particularmente derivado. Nash y el entusiasta Marcus Printup forman una colorida primera línea, con Frank Kimbrough, Ben Allison y Matt Wilson como una sección rítmica sólida y flexible. La diversidad de las composiciones y la solidez constante de la interpretación hacen que merezca la pena explorar este conjunto.
