Review by Fabrizio Ciccarelli for VINILEMANIA.NET

Awarded as the best flutist of Latin Jazz in 2007, Mark Weinstein revisits classics from the blue notes and puts forward some interesting dark original compositions. Wanting to give a title to the CD with one of the most recognisable pentagrams from Monk.

A declaration of intent, on our advice, designed in a setting of deeply researched tone that evolves into a discreet and lively rhythmic sound. A perfect example or instrumental virtuosity that doesn’t just demonstrate but investigates the deep expressive resources of the flute. Rarely leaving a lyricism with warm chromatic nuances.

An atmosphere without borders is drawn out, searching for an extended emotion and at the same time a vigorous timing, escaping from purely just showing off. It is here through the “silence” that gracefully - and with intention – though not just exclusively representative, that the territories of classic jazz and of those more innovative and contemporary are discovered. A declaration of rounded resonant intelligence, diluted without letting go, it proposes a great original idea, one of good taste.

Weinstein’s research is stimulanting: the sounds are imagined through an enriched variation of shades of colours that have an assured impact. The stile is dry and the phrasing is combined with the desire to express its own exterior. Very individualistic and intuitive in it’s plastic equilibrium.

The sense of direction of this work is derailed by the systematic spontaneous ness through the interesting interplayed rhythms. Three clever and effective players, without a doubt, Dave Stryker on guitar, Ed Howard on the double bass and Victor Lewis on drums.

The reference to the flutist is in one respect through the Afro-American tradition, that in which the spirit and soul of the blues gives it the life through the bop, but above all the more modern expression, open and energetically rounded off in the melodies and in the persuasive geometries strongly described.

An unconventional jazz is that offered by Weinstein, for the rest the reference to Thelonious Monk is not casual, versatile and free from stylistic conditioning, which explores improvised territories from ample co-ordinated cultures, amplified by a vast spectrum of tone and notably elegant.

Recensione di Fabrizio Ciccarelli per WWW.VINILEMANIA.NET

Premiato come miglior flautista di Latin Jazz nel 2007, Mark Weinstein rivisita classici delle blue notes e propone composizioni originali di sicuro interesse, volendo dar titolo al cd con uno dei più noti pentagrammi di Monk.

Una dichiarazione d’intenti, a nostro avviso,  disegnata nell’àmbito di una ricercatezza timbrica che evolve in un sound  ritmicamente discreto e vitale, esemplificando al massimo un virtuosismo strumentale non dimostrativo nell’ indagare a fondo le risorse espressive del flauto, lasciando non di rado intravvedere un lirismo dalle calde nuances cromatiche.

Vengono delineate atmosfere senza confini, alla ricerca di un’emotività distesa e allo stesso tempo vigorosa, sfuggendo dall’esibizionismo. Egli intende  attraversare “silenziosamente”, con garbo e con intenzione non esclusivamente rappresentativa, i territori del jazz classico e di quello più contemporaneo ed innovativo, a riprova di un’intelligenza sonora a tutto tondo, dilatata senza lasciarsi prendere la mano, proponendo idee originali e di buon gusto.

La ricerca di Weinstein è stimolante: i suoni vengono immaginati secondo coloriture arricchite di variazioni sfumate di sicuro impatto; lo stile è asciutto nel combinare il fraseggio con la volontà d’esprimere un’estetica propria, molto individuale ed intuitiva nell’equilibrio plastico.

Il senso del percorso viene inoltre delineato dalla spontanea sistematicità dell’interplay con l’interessante ritmica prescelta: tre bravi ed efficaci  esecutori, senz’altro, Dave Stryker alla chitarra, Ed Howard al contrabbasso e Victor Lewis alla batteria.

Il referente del flautista è sì la tradizione musicale afroamericana, quella in cui lo spirito del blues anima la linfa vitale del bop, ma soprattutto le espressioni più moderne, aperte a contorni energici nelle melodie e nelle geometrie suadenti fortemente descrittive.

Un jazz non convenzionale, dunque, quello di Weinstein – del resto il riferimento a Thelonious Monk non è casuale -  versatile e libero da condizionamenti stilistici, che esplora territori improvvisativi dalle ampie coordinate culturali, amplificato da una  gamma timbrica vasta e di notevole eleganza.
