An all-star quartet, guitar virtuoso Romero Lubambo, master bassist Nilson Matta and percussionist extraordinaire Cyro Baptista with Mark at his best on concert, alto and bass flutes.

review by Fabrizio Ciccarelli for VINILEMANIA.NET

There are many virtuosos to look between, so watch out for the technical bravado gifted to us here. Mark Weinstein has always been distinct for his hot and sweaty Latin tones, fusing them with great sensibility to the tropical atmospheres with the blue notes: we have to acknowledge to him the refinement and the research that has since been given to the flute in Latin jazz. It has been done in such a way that his sound hasn’t just originated only through his intuition or through his love for a “good sound”. It’s as much of an interesting capacity for composition and arrangements like this that has been growing remarkably in originality and of which is evident in the executive techniques used.

The tracks that are proposed here in “Lua e sol” contain a narrative logic that stands out and manages to unravel itself through the predilection for a pluri-chromatic that is both personal and expressive in its dimensions. This in turn produces a coherent and agreeably pleasing phrasing that could be described as “colloquial”. In such a way that “Canto de Ossanha” remains an image that isn’t set in time and in the way in which it is presented. And we have to look at both Baden Powell and Vinicius De Moraes who form part of the nucleus in this strong and contagious emotive force; an ideal climate to release all of the elegance contained within this flautist. This force is also contained in evergreensUpa Negrinho” from Eduardo Lobo and Gianfrancisco Guarnieri or “Choro da Gafieira” by Pixinguinha.

In the name of a “progressive traditionalist” the flautist takes special care in the execution and relies  on good taste which appears wholly simple in its exhibition, sometimes energetic, at times lively, other times swinging - dilated in conceived jets of solos, without using any calculated tricks: a truly convincing fervour, a tenacious faith in the profound sense of the pre-selected pentagram’s used, substituted by the formidable interplay with a formation that is extremely explicit (the guitar of Romero Lubambo, the acoustic bass of Nilson Mata, the Brazilian percussion of Cyro Baptista).

Weinstein doesn’t follow this pattern to all costs, he doesn’t love the garish cabaret of lots of solos; he chooses to articulate the album according to a groove that is cared for - which is enthusiastic, actual in its whispered harmonics, imprinted with an identity out of the normal scheme of all other narcissi tic’s. It is in this respect that it would appear that there is a light that is magically switched on to “explain” to the listener every phrase in the creative process, and of all of its emotions that it contains.

recensione di Fabrizio Ciccarelli per VINILEMANIA.NET

Tra tanti virtuosi, attenti più che altro alle prodezze tecniche, Mark Weinstein si è sempre distinto per il caldo e suadente tono latino, fondendo con gran sensibilità le atmosfere tropicali con le blue notes: a lui si deve oggi l’affinamento della ricerca per il flauto latin jazz in quanto il suo sound non è originato solo da intuizioni o dall’amore per il “bel suono” quanto più da un’interessante capacità di composizione e d’arrangiamento così come dai notevoli spunti di originalità evidenti nella tecnica esecutiva.

I brani proposti in “Lua e sol” possiedono una spiccata logica narrativa che si dipana attraverso la predilezione per un pluricromatismo di personale dimensione espressiva, per un fraseggio coerente e gradevolmente “discorsivo”. In tal modo “Canto de Ossanha” rimane un’immagine non scalfita dal tempo ed il modus con il quale lo presentarono Baden Powell e Vinicius De Moraes viene enucleato nella sua contagiosa forza emotiva; un clima ideale per sprigionare tutta l’eleganza del proprio flautismo, come anche negli evergreensUpa Negrinho” di Eduardo Lobo  e Gianfrancisco Guarnieri o “Choro da Gafieira” di Pixinguinha.

In nome di un “tradizionalismo progressista” il flautista cura l’esecuzione secondo un buon gusto semplice nell’esposizione, a volte energico, talora vitale, talaltra swingante, dilatato in soli ideati di getto, senza calcoli né trucchi: un convinto fervore, una fede tenace nel senso profondo dei pentagrammi prescelti , sostenuta dal formidabile interplay con una formazione estremamente esplicativa in tal senso (la chitarra classica di Romero Lubambo, l’acoustic bass di Nilson Mata, le percussioni brasiliane di Cyro Baptista).

Weinstein non insegue l’attuale a tutti i costi, non ama lo sgargiante cabaret di tanti solisti ;

sceglie di articolare l’album secondo un groove curato ed entusiasta, attuale nei sussulti armonici, improntati ad un’identità al di fuori degli schemi e tutt’altro che narcisistica, proprio là dove sembra farsi luce l’intenzione di “spiegare” all’ascoltatore ogni fase dei propri processi creativi, delle proprie emozioni.
