Editorial Reviews

One of New York's most in-demand sidemen, bassist David Finck, steps out as a leader with the help of some of the greatest jazz musicians on the scene.

David Finck is André Previn's bassist of choice; he also worked with Dizzy Gillespie and Herbie Hancock. When it comes to Latin and Brazilian music, no American bassist is as trusted by so many of the masters, among them Paquito D'Rivera, Cesar Camargo Mariano, Ivan Lins, and Leny Andrade.

"I have worked with David Finck in many different circumstances and venues over a period of eight years, and in my opinion there is no one who is as good a bassist and collaborator." -- Andre Previn

This review is from: Future Day (Audio CD)

This is the first album as a leader for the very experienced bass player David Finck, who has been a valuable sideman on many recordings in many different musical settings. For this maiden voyage has assembled a very sympathetic core group of players, of which piano player Tom Ranier was the unknown factor for me personally. He has a great rapport with vibes player Joe Locke and do not get into each other's way with their respective instruments. Joe LaBarbera is a great stimulus for the group at the drumkit, being active but not overactive.

I bought this album simultaneously with Joe Locke's own Sticks & Strings album, which also features Joe LaBarbera on drums. This album comes through stronger though, not the least because this album has a much better, more clear and transparent, recording quality. There is a great variety of good tunes, mostly original material, but with the old chestnut Nature Boy getting a refreshing 5/4 treatment. All in all, it is a wonderful record to both listen attentively to and to be able to play when others are around, as it is a very musical album, without getting boring. This is honest music and you can really hear and feel that the musicians play for the music. Mainstream jazz does not get much better than this in my opinion. Highly recommended.

These guys are SERIOUS about jazz and about vibes;

If you are into bebop or post bop, don't hesitate; you will definitely dig this CD. There is a range of material from fast to slow and the mid tempo stuff is really captivating. Absolutely not smooth jazz, here is a gritty night club sound with expert recording, (no fuzz or clinkers).
