专辑介绍

by Rick Anderson

Vassar Clements has always been one of the most recognizable fiddlers in bluegrass. When he steps to the mic to take a solo, the most foursquare traditional breakdown or reel takes on a jazzy, swinging flavor -- one that generally disappears as soon as his solo ends. On this album, he moves well away from the whole bluegrass genre, opting instead for the accompaniment of a jazz band and a program of undiluted swing, jazz, and R&B. Opening with a burning rendition of Jelly Roll Morton's &King Porter Stomp,& Clements delivers one original (the thoroughly charming &Hillbilly Jazz&), several standards (&That Old Black Magic,& &String of Pearls&), and a handful of numbers by his pianist, Fred Bogert. Bogert's &If That's Love& sounds like it came straight out of Muscle Shoals, with Clements' slinky fiddle weaving in, out, and around the sturdy drumming and funky bass. &Ezra's Holler& is a sort of modified bossa nova on which Clements plays the head in unison with sax player Paul Martin Zonn, to very fine effect. Just about everything on this album is both musically interesting and lots of fun. Highly recommended.
