Customer Reviews of A Balance of Light
He da MAN!! Proving beyond argumentation that he's the absolute alto god of his generation, and certainly one of the five greatest alto sax players ever, Bobby Watson here finds himself in the presence of the very congenial Mark Kleinhaut Jazz Trio.
It's almost as if this music was created specially for Bobby to perform.
In fact, it was. Kleinhaut asked Mr. Watson to come play at a local jazz festival, he agreed, Kleinhaut composed a bunch of originals, they went into the studio, and presto! out comes this glorious disc.
In the liner notes, Kleinhaut decribes how he listened to the Watson discography until his ears practically fell off, sweating to compose vehicles worthy of the great alto master. And, amazingly, he succeeded. Not only do these compositions uncannily resonate with the Watson corpus, they stand on their own as splendid jazz songs.
It's hard to pick a favorite among so many great sounding tunes, but I'm particularly drawn to "Ferdinand and Isobella," the gently-swinging Latin number that opens the disc, "Start It Up," a scorching post-bop tune with some very tricky and attractive guitar/sax unison lines, "South of Mason," a languid, smoothly swaying Southern blooze soaked in magnolia and Spanish moss, the drop-dead gorgeous ballad, "Erikita," with its mournful, tango-ish vibe, and the mid-tempo, English folk-songish "Summers," graced with a beautiful melody, some very attractive guitar/sax harmonizing, and a nifty out passage that sounds like an estival storm.
A note on the recording. I don't know if Bobby Watson's ever been recorded so brilliantly. The engineer has captured an extremely warm, burnished sound, with tremendous depth and poignancy, issuing from Watson's horn.
Almost on a par with the great Love Remains, this is among the finest discs Bobby Watson's ever played on.
Absolute highest recommendation.
