REMEMBRANCES
(JD166, SACD256) 1998 This is one of my all-time favorite Chesky recordings. The arrangements by Carlos Franzetti are simply amazing, sophisticated and musical. This recording demonstrates space and clarity. When you put on the recording, listen to the air and space that surrounds the instruments. Listen to the light and airy texture of the sound. It is a very three-dimensional recording. It seems like the stereo plane just leaps out in front of the speakers. On Track 5, “Naima,” listen to the delicacy of the piano solo: Each note seems to float in the air. Now take a moment to listen to the airy and extended cymbals as well. When the drummer plays with brushes on the snare drum, you can almost see the bristles on the brushes. John Faddis’ trumpet is very round and rich, not bright and nasty. When I hear this recording I feel like I am sitting in front of the greatest jazz ensemble ever put together. This is a sonic and jazz classic.
