| Description: | At the entrance to the studio, two young guys stand with instrument cases: a 'cello and two guitars. Perhaps we should wait for the others to arrive before we get started? "No. This is it" comes the response". We get a pretty full sound. "There is a moment's embarrassed silence, and I note the bumper sticker on the 'cello case that states, "Live is short but I'm not". Meet Matthew Brubeck. A shy and off-hand manner doesn't seem possible for this fella when you hear his intense solos played in violin range to packed audiences at Tom Waits' concerts. There is absolutely nothing shy about Matt's playing. Born into a musical family, he has found his own way, constructing his own style. Rather than following in the footsteps of his Dad (Dave Brubeck), he is definitely making his own tracks. David Widelock, at least, doesn't look down on the tops of our heads. He's the eyelevel one: intense, serious, careful. We can tell immediately that he's only going to be happy today when he's playing. Later comes the smile. David is currently writing new works for the Bay Area Jazz Composers Orchestra. So now he's gone from two person writing to 20. David and Matt have performed in the San Francisco Bay Area now for some time. It was time for an album of their music. What you hear in this first sojourn was recorded in a single day's work This isn't an album of multipe takes and careful editing to "get it right". What you hear is what they play with no nets. The music in Really is an equal venture. Accompaniment is a solo which simply makes a place for another soloist. Back-up harmonies are a chord solo with a friend. And, above all, the right rhythmic sense has to be created when there in fact is no rhythm section. David says that the process is a bit like trying to ride a bicycle for the first time. "You get your sea legs, you know, and off you go". In a duo of this type, the rhythmic drive succeeds when the actual rhythms are implied - less is more. There is something new in the world of contemporary Jazz. We have passed fusion and "new age" here. Perhaps now we have "infusion". Infused in this music is an organic combination of blues, classical style, bebop, and fusion, each used at the right time. These are personal ways of setting a melody, conscious of where Jazz has been, and where their music is going. (Dan Wyman) | |
