Trombonist/composer George Lewis made a career out of straddling the divide
between avant-garde jazz and contemporary art music, ranging from his incendiary
and amazing work in Anthony Braxtons groups to his own deep involvement in
real-time reactive software programs. Sometimes he absolutely nails it, as with
the extraordinarily beautiful Homage to Charles Parker, but more often Lewis
seemed to err on the side of academe, resulting in excessively cautious,
somewhat arid music. Here, texts of one sort or another are utilized in each
piece and the listeners enjoyment may be largely determined by how willing he or
she is to deal with these spoken passages. The opening composition, for example,
features some lovely writing for trombone and dual pianos, but poet Jerome
Rothenbergs quasi-Dadaist rants are pretentiously arty and aggravating. Bernard
Mixon, who handles the vocal chores for the remainder of the disc, is far more
readily enjoyable, with a rich, deep baritone and archly inflected delivery.
Quincy Troupes text for The View From Skates in Berkeley, which Mixon proudly
and effectively declaims over warm accompaniment led by Lewis and the superb
clarinetist Douglas Ewart, has much more of a visceral, true-to-life feel. The
title cut centers around a wonderful biographical sketch by Lewis father -- who
grew up in North Carolina and Chicago from the 20s through the 50s -- giving his
keen insights into the cooperative or divisive racial milieus he encountered,
among other observations. The musical accompaniment ranges from allusions to
blues, gospel, and classic jazz to freely improvised commentary. While none of
the tracks achieves the seamless blending of inspired text and instrumental
accompaniment one might have hoped for, theres enough interesting material to
recommend the disc to fans of Lewis and to those with general interest in
contemporary mergings of text and music.~Brian Olewnick
