Nexus - Plays Dolphy [CD]

..., these are more full-bodied and lush, both harmonically and because of the inclusion of various happy gimmicks, such as moments of collective improvisation and other insolitary ones - nonexistent in Dolphy's."The Nexus version introduces a linked suite of pieces that brims over with spirit - as does just about everything in the collected discography of Tiziano Tononi and Daniele Cavallanti. There is a big hearted quality to their work, always giving credit to their pantheon of heroes but also giving a lot back to the creative music tradition with the originality of their approach and the sheer verve of the playing. It's a performance that puts Dolphy's most famous quote to the test: "When you hear music, after it's over, it's gone in the air; you can never recapture it again." Far from disappearing, it finds harbour in the hearts and minds of those who have loved it, and continues.
