Pianist Paul Giallorenzo has a new cast of collaborators on the recent Emergent
(Leo), the second album from his terrific quintet Gitgo: bassist Anton Hatwich
remains from the original lineup (which was called Get In to Go Out), but
saxophonist Mars Williams, trombonist Jeb Bishop, and drummer Marc Riordan have
replaced Dave Rempis, Josh Berman, and Frank Rosaly. Giallorenzo's pithy
compositions remain one of Gitgo's best features: his writing has expanded
beyond the sly, catchy melodies of the band's debut, which are rooted in the
bebop of Thelonious Monk and Herbie Nichols, and he's making increasing use of
ruminative shapes and tempos, with an excellent sense of scale and
proportion. The new lineup has also changed the complexion of the music,
particularly on "Slowed Roll," where Williams (on soprano) plays singsong lines
in unison with Bishop, making the previously covert influence of Steve Lacy
explicit. Together Williams and Bishop remind me of Lacy's partnerships with
Roswell Rudd and George Lewis, in which they sometimes interpreted Nichols's
music. Riordan plays with a more straight-ahead rhythmic thrust than Rosaly,
which meshes with Giallorenzo's stabbing vamps and angular comping to create a
mainstream postbop feel that balances the acidic, extroverted sallies of the
front line and gives the buoyant inside-out tunes a compelling yin-yang
tension.
