Cochise

A band that makes it into bluegrass’ exclusive 25-year club inevitably celebrates the thousands of one-nighters, hundreds of festivals, dozens of recordings, and uncountable road miles by “taking an album off,” and releasing a retrospective. But that’s not Blue Highway and definitely not their new release

Donne e bambini massacrati… Bill Adams vuole la testa di Cochise, ma solo tre uomini accettano di seguirlo in territorio apache, uomini disperati il cui destino era la forca: sono i mercenari!

The latest album from saxophonist and clarinetist Victor Goines starts out sounding more like old adventures than new adventures – it opens with a joyful burst of sweet and sassy retro-bop titled "Stop 'n' Go," on which Goines pulls out all his best 1944 licks while hinting more subtly at a Coltrane influence as well.

Gli Apaches di Cochise sono tornati sul sentiero di guerra. Due uomini coraggiosi, Bill Adams e Tom Jeffords, cercano il vecchio capo per parlargli di pace… Ma una donna, Regan, vuole solo vendetta: nel suo cuore germoglia il seme dell’odio!

Anders Bergcrantz is one of many talented European jazz musicians who has been active for a good while, yet the trumpeter/flügelhornist is hardly known outside of the continent. After a long association with Dragon, he found a new label in Stunt and this CD was his first release for them, so he may end up with greater recognition due to the latter label's bigger investment in worldwide publicity. Joining him in the front line is trombonist Vincent Nilsson (who doubles on bass trombone), with pianist Jacob Kartzon, bassist Lasse Lundstrom, and drummer Lennart Gruvstedt providing a strong rhythm section. Most of the compositions are by the leader, highlighted by the infectious hard bop groove of "That's Nice, Don't Stop," the high energy of "Chief Sitting Bull," and the boisterous extended workout of "Cochise," with the leader briefly alluding to Wayne Shorter's "Footprints" in the midst of his solo, along with a few humorous licks. While adding a standard or a widely known jazz composition might have helped give listeners a chance to more directly compare Bergcrantz to familiar post-bop artists, he is clearly a force to be reckoned with and deserving of greater attention.
