Where his first album created a wide angle landscape of cinematic proportion with 20 musicians from all over the world, 5-O'Clock Charlie is a stripped-down and sharply concentrated offering that features his extraordinary organ trio. The results are equally brilliant and utterly joyful. One thing that is common to both albums is the longstanding "gumbo" approach of New Orleans, Charlie's adopted hometown. He assembles a wide array of ingredients to blend together into the large saucepot of his musical imagination, layered with loving care and balanced perfectly for a synergy of flavors that are a delight to the palette and continue to resound even after the meal is finished. The theme song from the classic TV series M*A*S*H is a somewhat unexpected item that plays on a bit of insider whimsy. 5 O'Clock Charlie was an episode of that series about an enemy bomber pilot who provided daily entertainment with his totally inept 5pm bombing runs on the camp. But unlike those efforts, this 5 O'Clock Charlie hits its target dead on bullseye from start to finish. write your comments about the article :: © 2015 Jazz News :: home page |
