Ted Nash - Ptrait in Seven Shades (2010)

The Jazz at Lincoln left chestra (JLCO) is often derided as a bastion of conservatism, although it's not clear what is conservative about an epic like trumpeter Wynton Marsalis' Congo Square (Blue Note, 2007), with its volleys of Ghanaian percussion and ensemble-singing in the Ga and Fante dialects. F that matter, the JLCO accommodates boundary-pushing musicians like Ted Nash, who holds a multi-woodwinds chair while still doing offbeat wk with the likes of bassist Ben Allison and pianist Frank Kimbrough?not to mention his own groups, including Odeon and Still Evolved.

Ptrait in Seven Shades is Nash's entry as an JLCO resident composer and the focus here is avowedly European (a stark contrast with Congo Square's Africa via New leans). Each of the seven movements takes inspiration not only from a particular painter, but also from a set of specific canvases in that artist's oeuvre, as explained in the CD booklet. The chestration points to Duke Ellington and Gil Evans in roughly equal measure, although hard-bitten blues vocabulary plays an overt role, most notably in Dan Nimmer's swinging piano trio setup on "Matisse." Perhaps most striking is the unsettled 13/8 meter and smeary high-register brass of "Dali," which apptions solo space between trumpeter Marcus Printup, drummer Ali Jackson and Nash on alto saxophone.

JLCO head and star trumpeter Wynton Marsalis follows trombonist Vincent Gardner with a fiery statement on the multi-sectioned, cubist-inspired "Picasso." Gardner returns f a romantic, Johnny Hartman-esque vocal feature?something altogether new in Nash's writing?on the ballad "Van Gogh," again offset by Marsalis as the featured hn. Later, jittery swing and tumbling swirls of eighth notes set the stage f the closing "Pollock." Only "Chagall," with accdionist Bill Schimmel, violinist Nathalie Bonin and tubaist Wycliffe Gdon articulating Jewish/Eastern European themes, seems a bit strained and obvious in trying to connect sound and subject matter. The other movements leave me to the imagination. Listeners are free to read Nash's lucid explanations in the notes simply let the music connect the dots.
