AAJ Review
The String Trio of New York (STNY) started in 1977 with John Lindberg (bass), James Emery (guitar) and Billy Bang (violin). Lindberg and Emery have been constant while there have been a number of violinists since Bang left in 1986: Charles Burnham, Regina Carter and Diane Monroe. Now with violinist Rob Thomas, they may have their most unified musical vision. Though he contributes no compositions here, his playing is strong on every level and, because of the register of his instrument, he easily fills the role of leader in this leaderless, cooperative band.
This recording contains two suites, one composed by Emery, the other by Lindberg. Emery's suite displays the detailed composition work for which he should be better known. The theme, "The River of Orion (Theme)," actually appears halfway through the suite. It's a gentle, lyrical bossa nova that puts Thomas' rich tone and melodic playing to the fore, while also demonstrating Emery's lush harmonies and Lindberg's deep understanding of groove. Though the piece isn't a "theme and variations" per se, Emery explains in the liners that the source of inspiration is the star constellation. No need for explanation when the melodies and harmonies are so strong and even though it could be argued that STNY came from the avant-garde (and still do have modernist leanings), this band breathes strong life into the tradition and really delivers what jazz proposes: virtuosity, musical surprises with joy and thoughtful control of material. Movement 7, "Stellar Coronae," is a cross between jazz ballad and classical prelude. The instruments' gorgeous tones are even more evident at this slower tempo. Emery's broad compositional skills allow for all three players to dart about into the melodic foreground. Movement 9, "East of Mintaka" demonstrates why Thomas is probably the best violinist for this trio; his tricky unison lines with Emery are not only accurate, but fly by with grace and swing. Emery's solo is one of his best on the CD.
Lindberg's suite, "Journey Platz," is shorter in duration but no less ambitious. On the surface, it's more abstract, yet it sweats more. The beginning of "Part Four" grabs attention with all instruments strumming and bowing as fast and as loud as possible, moving just as suddenly to a soft pedal tone in the bass and then quickly off in other sonic directions. As Lindberg states: "Its [Journey Platz] core goal is to elicit performances from the three virtuosos, both individually and collectively that transcend what I could notate or otherwise construct in more traditional terms." "Part Five" starts off as if the instructions might include "multi-tempo, fragmented jazz." The bass walks at a moderate tempo, the guitar plays in the spaces left over and the violin floats above the plucked strings. The piece (and CD) ends with mysterious sounds, maybe the raspy sound of Thomas' bowed violin approximating the sound of a door closing. Thomas gets the final word in the liners, thanking a restaurant in Milano (where this CD was recorded) "for five nights of culinary delight and hospitality." These guys not only know how to make great music, they know how to live. ~ Francis Lo Kee, AAJ
Established in 1979 with the Black Saint album First String, featuring Billy Bang manning the violin chair, the revered band String Trio of New York celebrates its 30-year anniversary with the impressionable effort, The River of Orion: 30 Years Running. Over the years, the trio has invited guest artists, such as saxophonist Oliver Lake and pianist Anthony Davis, to partake in performances and recordings. However, bassist John Lindberg and guitarist James Emery loom as the core components of the trio's makeup, spanning four decades. From a jazz perspective, the band embodies a genre-busting integration of evolving song forms that touch upon modern classical and folk elements. This release highlights Emery's "The River Of Orion" and Lindberg's "Journey Platz," both multi-part compositions.
Again, the trio explores numerous concepts while always maintaining sinuous flows and probing storylines. The musicians execute a cohesive plane that go on a burgeoning journey, spanning sweet and sassy grooves to torridly devised free-bop passages. And they inject the chamber element in spots. It's demanding music for the discriminating connoisseur, as some might say. But where many others become bogged down in snazzy time signatures that lack a particular mood or vibe, these folks sustain loads of interest.
On "The River Of Orion—Aquarian Waters (Part Two)," the musicians breeze through a medium-tempo swing vamp, dappled with Emery's blazing 16th-note voicings and Thomas' lyrically rich lines. But they straddle the avant-garde during "The River Of Orion—Alnitak," as they emulate a frantic metropolis via a blazing trail of ideas and assertions. Here, the trio forges bump-and-groove passages with sweet-toned innocence and ominous circumstances.
The plot continues during "Journey Platz—Part One," which is a piece engineered upon interweaving dialogues and Lindberg's furiously enacted arco movements. They fuse counterpoint, dissonance and intense phrasings that summon notions of someone attempting to navigate through an intricate maze. Yet they find the opening, and soar skyward into a climactic frenzy, underpinned by Thomas' sanguine choruses.
One of the striking elements of the trio's chemistry pertains to its translucent manner of regenerating a given theme or melody into a contrapuntal forum. They flush out certain components, while breathing life into subsequent movements. Abiding an evolutionary methodology amid their cunning improvisational maneuvers, it's not about every man for himself. Contrarily, it's centered on the musicians' remarkable intuition, which is the stuff that can't be taught in the classroom.
Regardless, the 30-year mark serves as a notable timestamp for a band that keeps moving forward with astounding invention, complementing the instrumentalists' signature styles and charismatic, group- based disposition. ~ Glenn Astarita, AAJ
