A lot of commitment is required for a band to develop musical ESP, and it was in this spirit that saxophonist Jeremy Udden of the rural-jazz combo Plainville (“Southern gothic maturity, folk song simplicity, and garage rock pathos”- The New York Times) and trumpeter John McNeil (“one of the best improvisers working in jazz”- The New York Times) began to meet regularly in 2011 to work on their concepts of composition and improvisation. Over time, they added a rhythm section, bassist Aryeh Kobrinsky and drummer Anthony Pinciotti, and Hush Point was born.
The continuing aim of Hush Point is to play as a single entity, to anticipate musical changes and play something non-composed as if it were a written arrangement. “John and I play together so much we've begun to play improvised lines in unison,” remarks Jeremy. "It's uncanny. At first, John thought I was messing with him and he got angry and tried to kill me, but hey, that's all part of developing a group sound. Just kidding. Really."
Blues and Reds begins with Udden’s “Live in Stockholm,” a city where he learned Swedish folk music and eventually turned it into tribal, bass-propelled cool jazz. “Wu Wei,” a slightly boogaloo-flavored song, is “something Jeremy wrote at Kung Fu school in China,” according to McNeil.
John's "Petit Moineau” is a beautiful ¾ ballad named for French chanteuse Edith Piaf, his first love as a little boy. “She broke my heart by taking up with a number of other men. This tune proves that love is, well, dumb sometimes.”
The up-tempo, swinging “HDMB” ("Highly Derivative Minor Blues." Or "Hello, Dave Matthews Band") was written by McNeil, and then Jeremy transformed it by using a Bob Brookmeyer solo as a surreal interlude. (The late Bob Brookmeyer is a big Hush Point influence. He was a mentor to Jeremy Udden and played on his first record.)
You never think of B.B. King and Vladimir Lenin as being buddies, but the title tune, Udden's “Blues and Reds,” is incontrovertible proof that they were.
Kobrinsky’s “Scuffle” is an angular, intervallic six-bar blues intended to punish the horn players for some imagined slight. “Dreams,” by Udden, has long, flowing lines and terrific counterpoint between alto and trumpet during the blowing sections. In contrast, his “Moments Of Truth” resembles an Ornette Coleman-like dirge. As McNeil says, "Everybody has a moment of truth once in a while. The trick is to ignore it and keep playing music for a living."
Concluding the program, McNeil’s “Four and More” is a mystery tune. By deciphering clues in the title, you can figure out where the chord progression comes from and win a car.
Hush Point’s organic development has stemmed from the fact that all of the members are dedicated to listening, talking and working together. As they push themselves and the music forward, Blues and Reds serves as a fascinating mile marker on the road.
