商品の紹介
| When English electric jazz quartet Golden Mean delivered the Through Walls EP in 2020, they showcased a seamless approach that wed nostalgia for 1970s-era jazz-funk with knotty prog fusion and edgeless 21st century contemporary jazz. Founded by Yusef Kamaal bassist Tom Driessler and Nubiyan Twist guitarist Luke Wynter, the pair reached out to Emma-Jean Thackray keyboardist Lyle Barton and veteran session drummer Matt Davies. The music joined an almost constantly grooving electric Fender Rhodes piano to tight, riff-centric guitar lines, slippery breakbeats, and fretless basslines. The groups debut full-length, Oumuamua (titled after the first interstellar object detected passing through the Solar System), showcases both a personnel change -- Davies left and was replaced by English jazz wunderkind drummer Jamie Murray -- and a musical one. In addition to the genres referenced above, Murrays encyclopedic rhythm wheelhouse also includes hip-hop drumming, which provides an additional textural dimension to Golden Means approach. Opener "Intra" commences with a soul-jazz Rhodes vamp and a strolling electric bassline. Murray lays out shuffling boom-bap breaks but eventually reins them in as he grafts tenets from post-bop, blues, and R&B onto his labyrinthine groove. His interplay with Barton is kinetic as Driesslers bass governs the interplay with an elastic touch that stays in the pocket. Wynters guitar solo equates lush lyricism, funky phrasing, and elegant harmonies. The title cut is all keyboards, bass, and drums in a tight, syncopated jazz-funk cadence that could be Herbie Hancock jamming with John Scofields trio. Alternating chord voicings and scalar arpeggios from Wynter are combined with a tight, cut-time keyboard vamp buoyed, anchored, and adorned by Murrays brilliant kit work. On the woolly "Red Horizon," the drummers authority guides the quartets intensity. His partner on this dense, fluid composition is Driessler, whose finger-plucked double- and triple-time vamp allows Barton and Wynter room to explore tonalities, modes, and chromatics. "The Hive" -- arguably the sets finest tune -- weds reverbed Rhodes piano to rolling tom-toms and spiky electric guitars. Driesslers progression leads the band, opening the tunes body to several instrumental conversations that eventually come together in an astonishing fusion sequence, just as piano and drums emerge from the bottom of the mix with a finger-popping groove. "The Break" segues right out of it, led by Murrays incessant snare and hi-hat breaks. That rolling cadence is grabbed by Wynter and Driessler and expands the harmonic frame over, under, and through the rhythm. Bartons clipped chord voicings and slippery, subtle arpeggios underscore his bandmates efforts, adding ballast and dimension to the intricate jamming. Oumuamua sounds utterly contemporary, yet it would have been right at home during the 70s fusion era. Those nostalgic roots add familiarity for some listeners, while the modern charts, musicality, and advanced polyrhythmic approach provide authority and the present tense. Though not nearly as well-known as their London contemporaries, Golden Mean is easily one of the most aesthetically important bands on the scene. ~ Thom Jurek |
