Description:
Jazz saxophonists Chico Freeman, Nathan Davis, Sam Rivers, and Arthur Blythe display their distinctive sax styles in this swinging concert from the Brewhouse Theatre in Taunton, England. They're backed by a rhythm section featuring pianist Don Pullen, bassist Santi Debriano, and drummer Idris Muhammad. Freeman's windy city tones blow brightly on the slow-tempo tune "Never Always" and on the after-hours blues "After Dark." Arthur Blythe's stinging alto pays homage to Charlie Parker's classic "Parker's Mood," while Sam Rivers's challenging solos bathe the Coleman Hawkins-associated standard "Body and Soul" with a touch of the avant-garde. Davis's sinewy, snaky soprano lines illuminate the ballad "You Don't Know What Love Is," and the grand finale, "Lester Leaps In," features all four horn players in a rousing, blues-riffed tour-de-force. On this DVD, you can hear the entire history of the saxophone. --Eugene Holley Jr.
