Niculin Janett Quartet Featuring Rich Perry: No Parking Any Time
ByA contemplative "Body and Soul" opens the recital. Janett is more Lee Konitz than Art Pepper (early period), with a light, searching tone, well-balanced with a full middle. Janett's reading of the classic is dry and sardonic, strolling past Coleman Hawkins and Johnny Hodges without a thought. "Alternate End" brings in Rich Perry for some embedded counterpoint that could have been arranged by Gil Evans had it not been so superbly so by the leader. The disc contains a couple of angular bop tunes: "30 Orchard Street" and the circuitous "Hypocrisy." The latter piece could be the best hard bop imagined. Drummer Rodrigo Recabarren detonates the post-bop excursion, "Exclamation," a muscular and sinewy original pitting Janett's understated alto with Perry's cool but aggressive tenor. As an entire package, No Parking Anytime is a strong statement for traditional mainstream jazz that is both insightful and imaginative.
