T’n T TEAGUE /TAPPINPan, Saxophone & Flute Read Review
Sorry, not available |
ReviewHooray Teague, Tappin and Brancker. T’nT is fresh and reminds us that there is so much of our own material that can be given innovative and pleasing interpretations. Not since Raf Robertson’s Branches have I heard familiar calypsoes sound so sweet in new interpretations. In that regard, the irony is that two tracks Thank you, Kitchie and De Road are straight along unexciting Calypso jams. Oh, but D’ Hammer, Pump Me Up and the D’Kid are excellent renditions of the happy West Indian sound that the world yearns. The title track T’nT alone is the reason to get this CD. Its a calypso jazz fusion at just the right pace with Pan and Sax in harmony. T’nT covers a lot of ground musically and one hears many influences. There is the obligatory, it seems, salute to R&B and smooth jazz. There are hints of Boogsie Sharpe’s non-Panorama touches, Grover Washington, James Brown, Bobbi Humphrey and Gato Barbieri. Overall it sounds great without any of the tired tracks almost every Pan CD has in the recent past. T’nT - joyful, West Indian, music for Summer, Winter, for listening or dancing - slow wine, hug up, and a must for your collection. [eCaroh] |
