Really OK

by Chris Speed Trio with Dave King & Chris Tordini

supported by

Jonathan Pryor I have these albums on a deceased laptop. Had to have the CD's. They're that amazing! And Dave reminds me of Elvin Jones on Takedown! Takedown really reminds me of 63' Coltrane w\ Jones. Favorite track: Round Trip.

about

Since arriving in New York in the early 1990s, reed player Chris Speed has been one of the most vital improvising musicians on the scene. His work has always ranged widely, moving from a jazz base out through various forms of folk, classical and rock music. With the formation of this excellent trio with drummer Dave King and bassist Chris Tordini he's sort of reversed the direction. This is a group returning from other explorations to work deep within the jazz tradition, bringing everything else they've learned back in. What is most compelling about this music is the incorporation of early jazz styles in a way that is direct and deeply felt. The music is joyful and generous and Speed has an uncanny knack for coming up with tunes that can create a whole world of emotions and formal possibilities behind an often catchy melodic surface.

"One of the best jazz records of the year; seamlessly connecting
their abiding love and respect for jazz tradition with an inherent interest in pushing the music forward." Chicago Reader

Yes,yes,yes! I've been waiting for Dave to do this again...two brilliant runs by DDQ and Keystone were documented on Greenleaf back in the day; they were groundbreaking...recorded and released within 24 hours for each set...they were stellar performances and I play them again and again. With absolutely no chance of ever being there, this is the closest i'll ever be to 'being there'...so excited I may need to lay down in a darkened room for a while! John Cratchley
