Heitor Villa-Lobos Bachianas Brasileiras No.5 na znakomity saksofon W.Shortera (z albumu Alegria). Wyk. .Wayne Shorter -- tenor and soprano saxophones Charles Curtis (cello) Chris Potter -- tenor saxophone, bass clarinet John Patitucci: bass Brian Blade: drums Terri Lyne Carrington: drums Alex Acuña: percussion ---------------------------- "Saxophonist Wayne Shorter still towers over jazz." John Doll's review at jazzreview.com. I have to quote a whole paragraph of this review: "Shorter rediscovers the brilliant classical Brazilian composer, Heitor Villa-Lobos, who re-thinks and re-imagines Bach. The result is simply a masterpiece. It is begins hauntingly with Acuna and Shorter but then sways along the dance floor to Charles Curtis on cello with a solo that is so sweet and sorrowful that it can bring tears to one's eyes. Following the cello, Shorter begins a rich tenor improvisation in counterpoint to Curtis. The eventual interplay between Curtis and Shorter is breathtaking.! This single track may be the most magnificent piece that I have heard in years. The roots are deep and old, but the branches are fresh and resoundingly modern. And it may provide listeners with a means to appreciate and intensively explore 20th century classical compositions by Bartok, Chavez, Shostakovich and Harrison."
