Malachi Thompson has little patience with dogmatists who claim that a jazz
musician has to live in New York to be legitimate. The veteran trumpeter has
been around the Chicago jazz scene all his life, and he knows darn well that
there are many accomplished Midwestern improvisers who don't have a Manhattan
address. In the liner notes that he wrote for Talking Horns, Thompson spends a
lot of time discussing the Chicago/St. Louis connection in jazz -- a connection
that Delmark founder Bob Koester is well aware of because he started the label
in St. Louis before moving it to Chicago. Both are Midwestern cities that have
made important contributions to jazz, and this 1999 session finds Thompson
acknowledging the cities by leading a sextet that consists of four Chicagoans
(Thompson, pianist Willie Pickens, bassist Harrison Bankhead, and drummer Reggie
Nicholson) and two St. Louis natives (alto saxman Oliver Lake and baritone
saxman Hamiet Bluiett). Together, the improvisers favor an inside/outside
approach and divide their time between hard swinging post-bop and more abstract,
AACM-minded avant-garde jazz. "Circles in the Air" and the African-influenced
title track are among the CDs more left-of-center offerings, while "Brass and
Oak," "Way Back When We Didn't Understand," and the McCoy Tyner-ish "Lucky
Seven" are hard swinging post-bop items that are more inside than outside.
Thompson, true to form, insists on keeping his options open -- the trumpeter
sees no reason why he cannot be influenced by Freddie Hubbard one minute and
Lester Bowie the next. As a result, Talking Horns is unpredictable -- you never
know from one track to the next if the sextet will go in a straight-ahead
post-bop direction or an AACM-influenced avant-garde direction. But whatever
direction the sextet chooses, this album is consistently strong and serves as a
fine example of Midwestern acoustic jazz.~ Alex Henderson
