Many of pianist Barron's recordings have been done with one set lineup.
Though he has a core band of bassist Rufus Reid, drummer Billy Hart,
tenor saxophonist David Sanchez, and trumpeter Eddie Henderson, the
leader changes up the music quite a bit on this diversely adorned
recording of two standards and eight originals. There are two duet
tracks — one with guitarist Russell Malone, the other with Sanchez.
"And Then Again" is a 12-bar bopper on which Malone cops stairstep
refrains from "Misterioso." McCoy Tyner's kinetic "Passion Dance"
features piano and tenor in a wonderful terpsichore. Barron's his own
man as an improviser. Brazilian moments always crop up on his
recordings; this album sports a long, languid, samba-tinged take on
Billy Strayhorn's "Passion Flower," as well as the breezy melody of
"Cook's Bay," which features a tick-tock samba similar to Jobim's
"Waters of March." These group efforts are joined by the Art
Blakey-like "The Pelican," one of Barron's best writing jobs. In stark
contrast is the funky, dark modal juggernaut "The Wizard," with
banged-up, half-crazed chords from Malone, and the grooving Afro-Cuban
minimalism of the title cut. The rhapsodic "Passion Flower" and "Um
Beijo" both feature violinist Regina Carter. Barron's romantic notions
are best displayed on the delicate, trumpet-fired bossa ballad "Sonja
Braga" and serene waltz "The Question Is...." Barron has amassed a
formidable number of high-quality recordings, but this ranks right up
there near the top.
