Editorial Reviews

Orange, the second release from Mario Pavone’s Nu Trio/Quintet in as many years, is the follow-up to the all-star group's acclaimed 2002 debut, Mythos (PSR#J111401), which was named to best of the year lists by the Village Voice, AllAboutJazz and Slate.com. In the same vein as its predecessor, Orange features four tracks by the veteran bassist/composer's core trio, which first recorded 1999's Remembering Thomas (Knitting Factory), along with five quintet tracks, which add trumpeter/arranger Steven Bernstein and tenor saxophonist Tony Malaby

5.0 out of 5 stars Up Front and Pure Be-Bop, March 2, 2008

This review is from: Orange (Audio CD)

Mario approaches composition as an engineer, so his music is more engineered than composed. He is the most hard-working bassist that I have ever seen. He may consider himself avant-garde, but hey all be-bop is avant garde and anyway, his stuff is always original has a broad variety, played in many key changes and just great jazz. At the same time, he is cutting edge and masterful in composition, theory and technique, all his albums are just terrific; my favorite is "Boom".
