Customer Reviews of Carry the Day
Great CD - Very Very Henry !! Henry Threadgill one of the great modernists of the last 20 + years maverick composer, arranger, saxophonist always puts out creative, original, intriguing and vital stuff and this is true to the Threadgillian vision - sui generis. Featuring the only (?) alto-tuba-twin gutiars-accordian-drums band in jazz Very Very Circus now VVC Plus 2 vocalists and 2 hand drummers and last but not least - a violin ! CD kicks of with an instant classic the title track "Come Carry the Day" : limber Afro-Cuban polyrhythms, chant vocals, Tex-Mex accordion, melodies and a killer solo by Henry on the alto this is a wicked groove to still get the party going is 10 years time !! Another track I like is "Vijanrondirski" a locked groove with tuba/congas/drums , melodic ostinato plus some female vocals crooning some of Threadgill cryptic poems/text also used on the ballad , the oddly romantic "Hyla Crucifer" in fact all the titles look like excerpts from poems. The most jazzy piece is the cool swing of "Between Orchids, Lillies" a complex maze for soloists to play through featuring the french horn of Mark Taylor and nice accents, hits and kicks by drummer Gene Lake who is impressive on drums throughout the CD. Finally there is a freejazz style blow out on "Jenkins Boys Again" - an improv traffic jam. Bold artists like Threadgill didnt last too long on major labels but this was a strong distinctive statement from one of the major composers of the 80's + 90's and an antidote to the rest of the tepid corporate jazz stuff realeased at that time
A Wonderful Introduction to Mr. Threadgill's World
Arguably, Henry Threadgill may be one of the most original american composers to date. One things for certain "Too Much Sugar..." should be heard because of the instrumentation alone. Two guitarists... and TWO TUBA PLAYERS!!!
Mr. Threadgill's writing is as always impeccable. Amongst his intricate structures are cells of improvisation, which could've only come from the heart. For the uninitiated, you're in for a treat. For us lovers of something so beautiful and unique, there is always something (some little detail) to draw the listener back in.
