Lynne Arriale
Convergence
Motéma
By Carlo Wolff
Lynne Arriale is a powerful pianist with a strong melodic sense and a taste for well-built pop tunes. Sparked by remarkable bass and oud player Omer Avital, tensile, tasteful drummer Anthony Pinciotti and Bill McHenry, a tenor saxophonist who can be broad-shouldered in one tune and breathy in the next, Arriale turns in six largely nature-themed originals and five cover versions that sample pop from the ’60s to the ’90s. Convergence is a wholly appropriate title.
Arriale delivers a sober take on Nine Inch Nails’ “Something I Can Never Have,” one of Trent Reznor’s earliest and most stately cuts; a romantic rendition of Sting’s “Sister Moon”; an appropriately rococo and imaginative update of the Rolling Stones’ driving “Paint It Black,” featuring a thoughtful Avital bass solo; an edgy update of Blondie’s “Call Me” featuring burly McHenry; and a “Here Comes the Sun” that stresses George Harrison’s melody but doesn’t push it far enough. It’s the one track that seems a tad anemic despite Avital’s resonant bass.
Of the originals, the highlight is “Dance of the Rain,” a beautiful, flamenco-inflected tune featuring Avital’s lively oud; it makes you want to run outside into a summer shower, it’s so lovely. So is “The Simple Things,” a relaxed ballad featuring an Arriale less percussive—which she can be—than pearly. “Here and Now,” the hottest original, is hard, stirring postbop featuring oracular McHenry sax and propulsive, excitingly busy Pinciotti drumming. The sturdy architecture Arriale brings to her playing generates memorable jazz no matter the source material.

Lynne Arriale has made her mark with a number of CDs of her own during her career. This predominantly trio date with bassist Omer Avital and drummer Anthony Pinciotti, adding tenor saxophonist Bill McHenry on several songs, mixes originals and covers of pop songs. Arriale's songwriting skills match her chops at the piano. The driving post-bop vehicle "Elements" provides a solid opener for Arriale's trio, with the pianist's unpredictable blues constantly shifting. Her rambunctious Irish jig "Convergence" features McHenry's powerful tenor and Arriale's furious solo. "The Simple Things" is a low-key, lyrical ballad played by the trio. The infectious "Here and Now" draws from multiple musical influences from around the world, showcasing McHenry's wailing tenor. The Middle Eastern-flavored "Dance of the Rain" includes an unidentified oud player, with Pinciotti presumably being playing the hand percussion. Arriale also shines with her fresh interpretations of the Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun," Sting's "Sister Moon," and the Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black". Only Nine Inch Nails' "Something I Can Never Have" never manages to gain traction. ~ Ken Dryden, AMG
