5.0 out of 5 stars
The Heartbreak Kid(s), October 23, 2008
This review is from: Sideways (Ocrd) (Audio CD)
I have envisioned an album like this one. Had been looking in vain. Just when I thought "Let it go" - into my life comes SIDEWAYS. There is a wholeness to this work that has in it qualities I've only been able to get on a track here or there on too many of the c.d.s I've listened to. For e.g., the sparseness/silence/romantic & lush beauty of Moonbeams on BIRTH OF THE COOL,or Blue In Green on KIND OF BLUE. I've always hungered for an album that would have this kind of minimalist approach to the heartbreaking beauty that, to me, seems all too rarely focused upon in Jazz - throughout an entire c.d. I've never loved Bill Evans more than his playing of ballads; same for Miles Davis. Jacob young/Mathias Eick/Vidar Johansen/Mats Eilertsen/Jon Christensen have created just such a c.d.
