Give him his choice of every color you could possibly put on the palette and he knows exactly which ones will mix into the color he wants. Give him five, 5,000 or only one - regardless, he'll create something remarkable. In the past few years, Brown has released terrific albums of solo piano and a disc in collaboration with the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra. Brown's new disc "Fast Forward to the Past" finds the artist with a full jazz ensemble - Bill Mobley on trumpet and flugelhorn, Steve Nelson on vibraphone, saxophonists Danny Walsh and Jean Toussaint, guitarists Lionel Loueke and Mark Boling, bassists Robert Hurst and Essiet Essiet, and drummers Eric Harland and (Donald's son) Kenny Brown, on various tracks. Throughout the album, the musicians help Brown construct adventurous and surprising numbers. Brown's trademark hues are all here - dissonance that quickly turns into beauty, a distinctive take on melody and harmony, and some amazing keyboard chops. On the terrific track "Carter Country" Brown, at times, seems to be playing piano with two brains - one for his left hand and another for his right. While the two are progressing the piece, they almost seem like two different personalities. In fact, Brown's sometimes split personality is one of the characteristics that gives his music such an edge. While Brown is squarely in the jazz realm, he's never afraid to incorporate funk or gospel elements. His style is based on the blues, but his use of it is sophisticated. "Fast Forward to the Past" includes three tracks by other composers (including "Skain's Domain" by Brown's former Jazz Messenger bandmate Wynton Marsalis), which provide a nice contrast to Brown's own creations, but the tracks that keep you coming back are the new Brown originals.     Review by Chris Barrett The title pretty much says it all. These 10 new compositions and well-chosen covers play like a scrapbook of pianist/composer Brown’s favorite sounds. There’s the daredevil, highly technical ensemble swinging that sometimes seems like the signature of his alma mater, Berklee School of Music. There’s the propulsive bounce of the Fender Rhodes electric piano that will always feel like a trapdoor to the 1970s, that decade when Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul, Chick Corea and a few others nailed it and made it a permanent part of the jazz soundscape. When an instrumental homage to a friend or mentor might be too abstract or subtle for the unschooled listener, Brown gives new works like “Carter Country” or “The Thing About George Coleman.” Brown’s new compositions are nicely arranged and fully formed, not as piano-centric as you might imagine. Longtime collaborators vibraphonist Steve Nelson, trumpeter Bill Mobley, and bassist Essiet Okon Essiet get plenty of time out front. Brown composes to his own strengths, so his original material outshines the group’s treatment of a couple Wynton Marsalis and Joe Henderson pieces, fine as they are. This is Brown’s first recording to feature his oldest son, drummer Kenny Brown, and the magically soulful West African guitarist Lionel Loueke. The younger Brown is extremely versatile, restrained and confident. It’s a lively, lovingly played examination of the many different things jazz can be. And if you didn’t see it elsewhere on the site, save the date: On Friday, March 6, as part of the Knoxville Jazz Festival, Donald Brown will lead a quartet in a concert performance at the Square Room, a too-rare opportunity to see and hear him without the distraction and competition of restaurant clatter.     EAC.log Exact Audio Copy V0.99 prebeta 4 from 23.
