I very much enjoyed Jamie Baum - Jamie Baum at The Vortex Jazz Club 23rd May 2010 The Baum quintet at The Vortex Jazz Club in London, at the end of a European tour, provided something of a contrast, their familiarity with their leader's subtle writing and, consequently, the robust informality with which they addressed it both mightily impressive. Whether they were playing her jazz take on a phrase from Stravinsky's Rite of Spring ('Spring Rounds'), an appropriately tricky piece inspired by the antics and body postures of Nepalese monkeys or sophisticated, thoughtful pieces full of unexpected rhythmic and melodic wrinkles ('Solace', 'In Another Life'), Baum's band – trumpeter Taylor Haskins, pianist George Colligan, bassist Johannes Weidenmueller and drummer Jeff Hirshfield – gelled beautifully in their ensemble roles and struck tasteful sparks off each other when required, Colligan in particular producing some rich, cascading explorations of relatively complex material, and both Baum and Haskins powerful and emotive in their solos. The unusual front-line combination of trumpet and flute resulted in some intriguing textures in both theme statements and subdued duo 'commentaries' on Colligan's solos, and with Hirshfield and Weidenmueller providing brisk and flawless rhythmic support throughout an absorbingly varied programme, this was a classy, musical performance from a top-notch band. - Chris Parker The Vortex Jazz Club, 11 Gillett Square, London N16 8AZ |020 7254 4097) http://www.vortexjazz.co.uk/gig-reviews/2010/may/ChannelCrossing-JamieBaum.html |
