review

Recorded live at the Manhattan Center in New York in 1998, this CD documents a concert by the Hudson Project: a piano-less post-bop/fusion quartet uniting guitarist John Abercrombie with bassist John Patitucci, drummer Peter Erskine, and the Michael Brecker-influenced tenor saxman Bob Mintzer. You won't hear any overdone standards during the set; all four musicians contribute their own compositions, most of which are quite cerebral and angular. Clearly, the Hudson Project isn't a group that's willing to go out of its way to be accessible; complex pieces like Erskine's "Cats + Kittens," Patitucci's "Labor Day," Mintzer's "Modern Day Tuba," and Abercrombie's "Little Swing" must be accepted on their own terms. And those who can accept the Hudson Project on its own terms will find this CD to be a decent, if unspectacular, exercise in post-bop/fusion intellectualism. ~ Alex Henderson
When the D'Addario musical instrument company decided to put together a supergroup of their endorsers for a once-in-a-lifetime tour, they didn't fool around. They managed to pull guitarist John Abercrombie, drummer Peter Erskine, saxophonist Bob Mintzer, and bassist John Patitucci away from their busy schedules to display their talents to ecstatic fans everywhere. This set, caught live at New York's Manhattan Center, is a stunning performance that catches each of these virtuosos at his best.
One of the most refreshing aspects of the set is the lack of standards. Instead, all of the tunes were penned by the members of the quartet, which results in the music having a sparkling quality that speaks of fresh ideas and an intimate connection. The pieces range in style from the bopping opener "Runferyerlife" to the esoteric "Bass Desires." Patitucci's earthy "Labor Day" offers a heavy groove and ample room for each member to add his own funky statement. Of special note is Erskine's "Cats & Kittens," which reveals the most spirited performance of the set as the group digs into the drummer's greasy New Orleans groove. The dynamic "Modern Day Tuba" closes the evening on a stratospheric high note.
