Courtney Pine’s second album stays very much within the
Marsalis-imposed boundaries of post-Miles post-bop; indeed, a
Marsalis brother, Delfeayo, is the producer, and the album’s
subtitle uses the patented kind of wordplay that the New Orleans
dynasty indulges in. As before, Pine’s guiding star is John
Coltrane, of whom he had become a fervent and skillful acolyte,
tossing off endless streams of heated playing on tenor and soprano
inside and outside. Pine also uses alternating expert teams of
English acoustic jazz specialists — Julian Joseph or Joe Bashorun
on piano, Paul Hunt or Gary Crosby on bass, and Mark Mondesir on
drums — as backup. There are some really good Pine compositions
here; «Sacrifice» sounds as if it could have made it as a standard
in mainstream and/or electric jazz. Although the novelty of a young
black Englishman playing Afro-American acoustic jazz has long since
worn off, much of this CD repays repeated latter-day listening. ~
