Vinyl LP version also available directly from the label at www.whatmusic.comIn May 1972, Jorge López Ruiz, Fernando Gelbard and 'Pocho' Lapouble had been part of an ensemble gathered around a project of Lapouble's and released under the name of 'Ego' by Jazz Band de Free (WMLP/CD-0080). The music in that record may be described as a 'fusion' of Ornette Coleman's and Miles Davis' electric propositions on what 'free' jazz might be, as seen from Buenos Aires by musicians deeply rooted in bop and hard bop. Four recording sessions in October 1972 brought the three musicians together again on a project of López Ruiz's and based on a more meditative but full-of-energy approach, stemming from Davis and his alumni, Weather Report. One of the tunes in 'De Prepo' is titled 'Mirosbass', an homage to Miroslav Vitous, bassist with the first Weather Report. A pun on his name, 'Mirosbass' is ethereal, but not wholly so; the Jorge López Ruiz 5 have almost no rock flavour, the bop roots of all concerned show clearly, and they have found their own very melodic way of dealing with freedom. So here we are confronted with a musical daydream, sweet and energetically propulsive in equal measure, if I may say so. Let me be contradictory perhaps, but the music in this album strikes me very much in the aforementioned way. Allow yourself to be rocked into a daydream-like haze and be open to the music as it is: highly enjoyable. Times were pretty hard in Argentina by 1972, and would get dangerously tougher still; the jazz musicians involved in this record reflected this, wanting the music to sound risky and pushy. Yet thirty years later the music is perceived as quite soothing. This view changes nothing as to the quality of their effort named 'De Prepo' ('Forcing Your Hand'), it only shows they found original ways to overcome hardships, fears and frustrations; for as John Keats very charmingly said: 'A thing of beauty is a joy forever'. Escapism? No, definitely not. Rather art in a very effective way. Take a look at three of the titles: 'Homenaje a la Muerte' ('Homage to Death'), 'Puntos de Partida' ('Points of Departure') and 'Todo Fluye' ('Everything Flows'). Don't they show real philosophical, albeit metaphysical, preoccupations associated with the music? Then 'Homenaje a la Muerte' ('Homage To Death') is followed by the very much alive 'Mirosbass', as 'Todo Fluye' ('Everything Flows') precedes the tender 'Oda Para Mi Niña' ('Ode For My Little Girl'); the final title is 'Más De Prepo Que Nunca' ('Forcing Your Hand More Than Ever'), a way of saying 'we're more alive than ever before and this is our way of forcing your hand, actually not even forcing your ear: our music speaks for itself'. Don't forget they are in Argentina, it is late 1972 and circumstances in Argentina are forcing them to become aggressively pushy. But they just want you to listen to a thing of beauty that is a joy forever. 'Homenaje...' sounds possibly too restrained today, retrospectively juxtaposed against the terrible wave of violence Argentina was to live through until the fall ...
