Trio Beyond is the name of the group that played at Queen Elizabeth's Hall in London, 2004. Jack DeJohnette initiated a project to pay tribute to the late Tony Williams' Lifetime -- with the late Larry Young on organ and guitarist John McLaughlin, all three were Miles alumni -- a band that, along with the Miles Davis band, spearheaded the jazz-rock fusion era. DeJohnette replaced Williams in the Davis group, and John Scofield is also a Miles alumnus; Larry Goldings had been approached by Williams in 1997 to put together an organ trio with a similar concept to Lifetime; Williams passed away shortly thereafter. The results on this double-disc album, Saudades, are explosive, dynamic, and utterly compelling. The repertoire comes from Lifetime's songbook. Spectrum: The Anthology and the intense stunner of a set closer "Emergency" come from the band's debut album of the same name, and two more pieces, Young's "Allah Be Praised" and John Coltrane's "Big Nick" come from Turn It Over, the second Lifetime disc. DeJohnette goes a step further here in featuring Davis' "Seven Steps to Heaven" in the program. The album the tune draws its title from is the first date Williams appeared on as a member of the trumpeter's group. Also included here is "I Fall in Love Too Easily," which was a staple of the Davis quintet at the time. "Pee Wee" is a Williams original scored for the quintet, while "If" is drawn from Young's classic Blue Note album Unity. Two of the remaining three tunes -- the title cut and the rocking "Love in Blues" -- were co-composed by Trio Beyond and Goldings; "As One" is the other. Musically, this is jazz first and rock second. The readings of both the Miles tunes and the Lifetime and Young material have been deepened by the mature experience of the players, but also nuanced by a deeper understanding of the era and its place in the jazz tradition -- and yes, fusion -- jazz-rock fusion has a certified place in the lineage. The set crackles with freshness and a sense of delight by the players. Goldings has never sounded looser, Scofield hasn't played this way since he played with Davis, and DeJohnette's sense of space and time, while deeply influenced by Williams, are his own. The moments on "If," which opens the album, are full of funky grooves by Goldings who simply juxtaposes his sense of bop phrasing, vanguard eclecticism, and the blues equally. The title cut is deep grooved and edgy, full of knots, twists, and turns. McLaughlin's "Spectrum" contains all the abstraction of the original and then some. Scofield uses his guitars as a sound device in addition to their intended purpose, and Goldings has never had a difficult time playing outside. Disc two kicks off with nearly 13 minutes of "Seven Steps to Heaven." The playing is attentive, finessed, and well rehearsed. The feeling that comes across is certainly different than the acoustic quintet's version but one that is reverent and full of its own sense of mode and harmonic interval development. "Love in Blues" rocks but is all to brief, clocking in at less than five minutes, and "Big Nick" contains within it the same, shifting bluesed-out sense of time that Lifetime's did. DeJohnette's sense of groove and ground are impeccable, ad the soloing all around is top-notch. This is one of the finer moments in recent ECM history, and a fitting tribute to Williams and his contribution to a music that sharply divided "purists' (who still are a pain in the ass in trying to preserve jazz as a museum piece), and those more progressive thinking fans who were -

4 stars Powerful, challenging, funny, and ballsy
The trio's take on Lifetime, Miles, and their own intense chemistry is challenging and joyful. Highly recommended - if you're up to it.

1 star Long time I had no such deception
Every theme on this album is just arhythmical. And also, there are such bad parts, like at the solo of Jack DeJohnette at "Spectrum" you could say that he fell asleep at the middle of the solo, and after that he didn't even knew what to do. I seriously thought he was having a coffee or something. For the most I like John Scofield's work, this album is just disappointing. Main melodies of every theme have a loussy development and at the end it just makes the album to be long and boring.

One word that comes to mind when listening to Critical Mass is generosity. Double-bassist Dave Holland, four decades into his career, could certainly be forgiven for taking the word "leader" at its literal meaning, calling all the shots and keeping his musicians at bay. But that's not what he's about, and at any given time Critical Mass could just as easily have been credited to saxist Chris Potter, trombonist Robin Eubanks, vibist/marimbaist Steve Nelson, or drummer Nate Smith. Each player is provided with ample moments in which to take charge, and not fleeting, ...

Saudades CD music
CD $12.49  3.4 stars Audio Samples
Some bop snobs would have listeners believe that smooth jazz is inherently evil because it is designed to attract R&B and pop audiences -- that commercialism is a place where only infidels, heretics, and blasphemers dwell. But truth be told, smooth jazz is what the artist chooses to make it; some pop-friendly jazz (Grover Washington, Jr., David Sanborn, Pat Metheny) has been quite creative. Unfortunately, a lot of radio-oriented smooth jazz tends to be contrived and formulaic, and more often than not, Michael Lington's Everything Must Change is a perfect example of an artist modeling himself after what NAC radio is playing instead of gambling with inspiration. The problem with much of this CD isn't the fact that Lington has been influenced by urban contemporary, funk, and pop -- contrary to the assertions ...
