Oliver Lake had just celebrated his 61st birthday when, in September 2003, he finished recording Dat Love -- not exactly in his adolescence, but thankfully time hasn't robbed the saxophonist of either his chops or his risk-taking spirit. Lake is still open to trying new things, and this CD finds him leading an unusual group that has been billed as the Oliver Lake Steel Quartet since its formation in 1998. The group is so-named because it includes a steel pan player; the lineup consists of Lake on alto and soprano sax, Lyndon Achee on steel pan, Reggie Washington on electric bass, and Damon Duewhite on drums -- an unlikely combination of instruments, certainly, but one that yields fresh-sounding results on Lake's own compositions as well as arrangements of Oliver Nelson's "Stolen Moments," Horace Silver's "Seńor Blues," and the Mary J. Blige/Stevie Wonder song "Time" (which works nicely as instrumental jazz and underscores the fact that jazz musicians cheat themselves when they refuse to interpret R&B songs). Achee isn't the first person to approach the Afro-Caribbean steel pan as a jazz instrument -- Andy Narell recorded his first album, Hidden Treasure, for Inner City Records in 1979 -- but he has a recognizable sound of his own and helps give the Steel Quartet much of their freshness. Despite Lake's history as an avant-garde player, Dat Love isn't terribly avant-garde or abstract -- actually, the melodic performances are fairly accessible, and this CD is best described as either advanced post-bop or Afro-Caribbean jazz (with hints of funk and soul at times). A consistently rewarding addition to Lake's catalog, Dat Love demonstrates that accessibility and a sense of adventure aren't mutually exclusive for the veteran improviser. ~ Alex Henderson

Purchase Dat Love CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Erik Friedlander Quake CD (2003)
Dat Love album
 $14.59 
On Quake, downtown cello boss Erik Friedlander teams up with Japan's fraternal rhythm section the Takeishi brothers (Stomu and Satoshi on bass and drums, respectively) as well as alto saxophonist Andy Laster for a date of intimate, knotty new jazz. In working with an electric bassist in this setting, the opportunities for unique tonalities are everywhere and are exploited to some degree as they were on an earlier work, The Watchman. Over the years, however, Friedlander has become a composer of interesting ensembles and Quake's is no exception. What is so remarkable about the performances on this recording are details such as counterpoint; on the opener, Laster and Stomu have equal opportunities to engage Friedlander and each other for a knotty, but exhilarating, ride. On the erratically paced and wonderfully breathless "Wire," Friedlander brings shades of different jazz eras and styles to comprise the body of the composition while intense harmonic invention takes places in each musician's solo. The title cut uses Israeli folk themes to construct an ebb-and-flow narrative statement that ...
| | Paul Brody Beyond Babylon CD (2004)
Dat Love CD music
$13.39
On his second album fronting his band Sadawi, trumpeter and composer Paul Brody continues his work in the avant-klezmer trenches, helping to drag that hundred-year-old music kicking and screaming into the 21st century. On Beyond Babylon he shows his unwillingness to be constrained by any ghetto boundaries, opening the album with an extended deconstruction of the Shaker hymn "Simple Gifts" (which features a hair-raisingly skronky banjo solo by Brandon Seabrook), and making use of elements of both dub (on the contemplative and lovely "Timepeace"), and rock (note the guitar parts on "Fragment of Kafka's Friend") as well as lots and lots of modern jazz. Most of the album is thrilling; Brody's take on the David Krakauer composition "Klezmer ŕ la Bechet" ...

Dat Love music CDs
 $32.19 
In this dazzling epic from Akira Kurosawa, a petty thief named Kagemusha (Tatsuya Nakadai) gets saved from a death sentence because he resembles the warlord Shingen Takeda (also Nakadai). The warlord has been fighting two other leaders for control of 16th-century Japan and impersonators often take his place during battles to put him out of harm's way. Because of Kagemusha's strong physical similarities to the warlord, he's a perfect choice for a "shadow warrior." However, the arrangement suddenly changes when Shingen gets fatally wounded while watching a battle. Adhering to Shingen's final wish, the warlord's men keep the death a secret, and ...
