Product Description

Description

Those looking for the mellow adult contemporary rock of Bruce Hornsby's 1980s hits, be aware: CAMP MEETING is a straight-up contemporary jazz album, a piano trio set with bassist Christian McBride and legendary drummer Jack DeJohnette. Hornsby, a jazz pianist since his college days who fell into pop almost by accident, shows the influence of past masters like Bill Evans in his refined, restrained playing, and McBride and DeJohnette provide sure, able support. Split between originals and standards by Thelonius Monk, Bud Powell, and Keith Jarrett, CAMP MEETING is a solid piano-jazz set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hornsby's spider fingers (on "Camp Meeting"), 14 Oct 2009
First of all let me admit I'm a Bruce Hornsby fan and have been ever since "The way it is". I saw him at Manchester Apollo where he was supporting Huey Lewis (my then teenage daughter had eyes only for the latter) but for me, Bruce was the revelation.

So, I have all the CDs and a couple of DVDs and his leanings towards jazz phrasing have always been apparent from the start, gathering meomentum as he changed the band's format and introduced guest musicians such as Pat Metheny.

On the "Camp Meeting" CD it's full on jazz and the fact that Jack de Johnette joins the album trio as drummer is testament to the ambition. They're joined by bassist Christian McBride and the composers include Ornette Coleman, Miles Davis, Keith Jarrett, John Coltrane, Bud Powell (a strong influence) and Thelonius Monk. Three Hornsby numbers and "We'll be together again" (jointly composed by Frankie Laine!) complete the recording.

His take on Miles's "Solar" has a beautiful and recognisable Hornsby intro. before cascading onwards driven by the rhythm section with the three musicians in perfect harmony (Hornsby has always been a naturally rhythmic pianist and thrives on the excellent support he receives throughout the tracks).

If I have a favourite, it has to be Bud Powell's "Celia", just because the usual two-handed approach is perfectly represented.

Forget the short-lived "pop" career, this guy moved on from that years ago and has been experimenting ever since. Each new CD brings a different theme to his eclectic approach to music (the Ricky Skaggs partnership on the bluegrass-tinged and eponymously titled 2007 album is as good an example as any).

It take talent and courage to attempt Monk's "Straight, no chaser" but most jazz traditionalists shouldn't be disappointed with this or his other versions of modern classics.

Take a risk and just listen!
