Horace Silver, Bobby Timmons, Les McCann, and Ramsey Lewis applied swing to gospel, R&B, and soul idioms. Now, with Dig Deep, the latest Sunnyside release from the omni-talented Hungarian-born pianist/composer/bandleader Laszlo Gardony, backed by bassist John Lockwood and drummer Yoron Israel - takes his giant steps to that pantheon.
I find a lot of joy in marrying odd-meters/changing time signatures with the sound and groove of gospel, funk, jazz and rock, Gardony writes in the CD liner notes. Our trio has been together for six years, and we are able to connect yet again on the new compositions which definitely represent a new page for me.
Save for the trio s respected and reinvented revision of the Gershwin standard Summertime, Gardony turns this new page with all-new self-penned selections. In Transit grooves with Lee Morgan Sidewinder style syncopations. Wide Awake and Sunday Afternoon ring with the reverence and rhythm of a Pentecostal sonic sermon, contrasted by the intricate and intense rhythm games on Out On Top and Three Minute Mile, the Afro/Abdullah Ibrahim vibed New Song, the Indian tabla-tantric Rhymes, and the power-rock pulsed Heavy. Some of the compositions center around visceral unison bass lines between piano and bass, while others flow freely over extended musical forms, Gardony writes. The grooves we play navigate unexplored areas that challenge the musicians as well as listeners. The leader s riveting and rooted pianism buoyed by Lockwood s formidable, sure-fired basslines and Israel s indestructible drumming effortlessly shortens the distance from Budapest to Beale Street.
