I'm not much of a devotee of the Avante Garde' jazz idiom, but I must concede to the fine musical substance contained in jazz pianist Pablo Held's new orig. music CD project, ''Music.'' The spacious almost symphonic character of this jazz trio is remarkable in its harmonic and melodic variety. And, please also note the full, rich texture of art contained therein, certainly a viable musical 'conversational' manner going on with the players etc.
There is a brilliant flow of musical power and range of mood that is akin to a melodious movement of highly developed artistic color, passion, lyric, and grace. All in all, Held's orig. music is beautifully both cunningly and subtly contrived with some very neat and lively jazz idiom style jazz writing, laced with both an exciting and vigorous compositional style.
