Rusconi Trio @ No Black Tie, Jalan Mesui, Off Jalan Raja Chulan, Kuala Lumpurposted by 671123
|
The Swiss band RUSCONI (Stefan Rusconi, piano/ Fabian Gisler, bass/ Claudio Strüby, drums) samples some forbidden fruit! The music of Sonic Youth alternates with instinctive sureness between noisy capers and lyrical dissonance, and it goes without saying that one is initially a little skeptical about the idea of reworking it as jazz. Does it make sense? How is it going to sound? The opening track, “Sunday”, on what is RUSCONI’s fourth album, It´s a Sonic Life (Sony Music Germany), is played almost note-for-note like the original. At first, anyway! Doesn’t that sound a bit plodding and stolid? But this reaction soon gives way to a sense of relief: The three musicians don’t try to conjure up a big jazz band; they don’t drag soloists onstage who attempt to outdo the guitars and feedbacks of the New York rockers with saxophones and trumpets, trombones and clarinets. On the contrary: the sound here is simple and clear, light and floating – in that order. At the end of the piece, the listener responds not with skepticism or relief but with unbridled enthusiasm.
