This recording catches bassist Joe Fonda and pianist Michael
Stevens leading their legendary quintet in a compilation of three
different European concerts. Fonda and Stevens wrote all the pieces
on this CD, which also features new music trumpeter Herb Robertson,
drummer Harvey Sorgen, and alto saxophonist/clarinetist Mark
Whitecage. While most of these performers are identified with the
freer styles of jazz, Evolution is a chance to hear them in a
diversity of contexts. "Song for my Mother" is a lovely, lyrical
ode that encompasses melodic invention and avant-garde playing.
"Birdtalk" is dedicated to Charlie Parker and offers some rare bop
soloing by Robertson. The head of "Second Time Around" was written
only with rhythmic notation, but without predetermined pitches.
"Strayhorn" is a moving remembrance of the titan arranger that
stretches as it looks back. Robertson and Whitecage are
particularly strong performers throughout and clearly enjoy the
variety of moods and tempos. While the recording suffers somewhat
from poor sound quality, the outstanding musicianship clearly
compensates. ~ Steve Loewy
