Embark on a mesmerizing journey with the Tyshawn Sorey Trio's 2022 release, "Mesmerism." This album is a masterful blend of straight-ahead jazz and innovative interpretations, led by the dynamic drummer Tyshawn Sorey, with pianist Aaron Diehl and bassist Matt Brewer completing the trio. Recorded with minimal rehearsal, this album captures the spontaneous synergy and profound musical dialogue between these three accomplished musicians.
Tyshawn Sorey, a MacArthur Fellow and a celebrated figure in contemporary jazz, steps away from his usual meticulously notated compositions to explore a more relaxed, yet deeply expressive approach to some of his favorite standards from the Great American Songbook. The result is a heartfelt homage to jazz traditions, infused with Sorey's unique sense of rhythm and harmony.
The album opens with "Enchantment," a piece that sets a contemplative yet vibrant tone. The trio's rendition of "Detour Ahead" is a highlight, with Diehl's piano weaving through unexpected modulations, guided by Sorey's nuanced drumming. "Autumn Leaves" receives a fresh, evocative interpretation, while "From Time to Time" showcases the trio's ability to transform a familiar tune into something entirely new and introspective. The closing track, "REM Blues," brings a joyful, swinging conclusion to this beautifully crafted collection.
Recorded at Bunker Studio in Brooklyn and mixed at Bass Hit Studios in New York, the production quality is superb, allowing each instrument to shine. The album not only demonstrates Sorey's versatility and depth as a musician but also highlights the extraordinary talents of Diehl and Brewer, making "Mesmerism" a must-listen for jazz enthusiasts and audiophiles alike.
