This is an exciting new release from the wildly creative French
clarinettist Louis Sclavis, a major figure in European jazz widely
recognised as a masterful jazz composer and arranger. Sclavis's
work often alludes to more than mere music, and on Lost on the Way,
he takes his associative imagery from Homer. The track titles
allude to the voyages of Ulysses. Sclavis: "I wanted to travel
somewhere unknown, letting myself be blown from Scylla to Charybdis
by mastering the winds and the torrents of return to re-evoke a
history" - along the way looking at aspects of jazz, rock and
modern composition from unfamiliar angles.

The album's theme is referenced in the title: the "seven energies"
of the universe derived from the Jewish Torah. As with Perelman's
other recordings to date, this one is jammed with ecstatic energy,
the highlight being the more than 20-minute "Fruition," in which
the saxophonist packs his usual full-throated voice with a
monumental punch. The unsung pianist Joseph Scianni, although not
as intense as Perelman, offers a sophisticated and complex harmonic
conception, one alternately romantic and cryptic, which fits
perfectly. Longtime colleague Jay Rosen continues his successful
synergistic relationship with Perelman, with unobtrusive yet
propelling drumming. Each of the tunes is named after one of the
"seven energies," and the last two in particular, "Femaleness" and
"Endlessness," reveal a more subdued side to the saxophonist's
playing than he usually shows. While this album does not break any
new ground, it continues the consistently high quality of
musicianship that Perelman has always evidenced. It may not attract
converts to his music, but it should easily satisfy the already
committed. Added bonuses are the beautiful reproductions of two of
the saxophonist's pieces of abstract art in the CD leaflet, and the
probing liner notes by art critic Eleanor Heartney. ~ Steven Loewy

One of David Kikoski's strongest offerings, Inner Trust is a
departure in that it focuses primarily on non-original material.
Three of the ten tracks are by the pianist, but the rest are
standards and jazz classics. Joined by Leon Parker on drums and
fellow Roy Haynes sideman Ed Howard on bass, Kikoski reaches
consistently grand heights of harmonic invention on burning numbers
like "Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise" and John Coltrane's "Some
Other Blues." "Winnie's Garden," a Kikoski-penned workout over the
chord changes to "Sweet Georgia Brown," practically overflows with
energy. And Thelonius Monk's "We See" swings with almost comic
cleverness. On the softer side are "You Don't Know What Love Is,"
"Old Folks," and the unaccompanied "Once Upon a Summertime." "Two
Lonely People," a little-known song composed by master pianist Bill
Evans and once sung by Tony Bennett, is also noteworthy. Of the two
remaining originals, "Mirical" is mannered, but the title track is
one of Kikoski's finest achievements -- a simple, stately melody
that serves as a launching pad for bold and impassioned
improvisation. (A version for quintet can be heard on Roy Haynes's
Praise.) ~ David R. Adler
