| Det var med MEGET stor spænding og med seriøst rystende hænder at jeg lagde denne cd i afspilleren. Det her var jo den første studieoptagne cd efter den mageløse trombonist Jeb Bishop's exit fra bandet. Spørgsmålet der kørte rundt oppe i mit hovede, var om en cello ville kunne erstatte den lækre lyd fra trombonenen. Og hvad var svaret så ??? Efter at have lyttet til denne cd adskillelige gange er jeg blevet overbevist om at det nok ikke er meningen at celloen skal erstatte trombonen. Derimod er den et skridt mod en ny lyd for bandet, om man så kan lide den nye lyd eller holder mere af den gamle er så en hel anden sag. Lyden er blevet mere mørk og dyster på denne nyeste plade fra V5 og i mine ører er det et genialt tiltag. Denne gang er numrene dedikerede til musikere, arkitekter og artister såsom Charles and Ray Eames, Philip Wilson, Elliot Carter, Sergio Leone, Giorgio de Chirico, Walker Evans og Santiago Calatrava. Kompositionerne på denne plader har fået mere luft end på de tidligere udspil, linierne er blevet lidt løsere og knap så kontrollerede om man vil, baseret på rytmiske ideer og følelser frem for noder. Dette er endnu et imponerende sæt fra Vandermark 5, en gruppe der nu spiller sammen på den mest fantastiske telepatiske måde, selv efter den nye mand Fred Lonberg-Holm's cello er kommet ind i billedet, der med sit instrument bringer en ny lyd til bandet og passer perfekt ind. Han bringer farver og nye ideer til den allerede yderst velfungerende opskrift og han er en velkommen tilføjelse til bandet. Endnu engang skuffer Vandermark 5 ikke idet de har leveret endnu et album der bliver bedre for hver gang man lytter til det. De er i den grad et band der bliver interessant at følge i fremtiden, for hvad finder de på på den næste plade ??? Anmeldt af Henrik Kaldahl. |
